At Comfort Keepers, we are committed to helping you and your aging loved one with reliable home care for seniors.

Senior Home Care in Council Bluffs
Caring for a senior loved one can be overwhelming for family members who do not have the experience and training that our Comfort Keepers caregivers have. However, most family members prefer to care for their loved ones rather than move them to assisted living, so they take on caregiving on top of their other responsibilities. Caregiving is a full-time job that requires time and dedication to ensure the safety of seniors while they live alone.
From specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care to companionship, our caregivers are here to help you and your loved one navigate the challenges of aging. Our caregivers are specially trained in the following:
- Incontinence care
- Hygiene, bathing, and grooming
- Mobility and positioning
- Grocery shopping
- Light housekeeping
- Respite care
- End-of-life care
Our Approach to Senior In-Home Care
Our caregivers not only help their clients with day-to-day needs, but they also elevate their spirits by using an interactive approach. We often create meaningful and personal relationships with our clients, resulting in lifelong friendships.
As seniors grow older, it's common for them to feel lonely. Their kids most likely have their own responsibilities, and their grandchildren might be going to school or working full-time. When families and close friends cannot provide immediate at home senior care for their loved ones, Comfort Keepers can ensure they are doing well emotionally and physically. All of our caregivers are encouraged to go above and beyond to offer quality conversations and engagement while providing in-home care for seniors.
In-Home Care Services in Council Bluffs
We offer a comprehensive range of in-home senior care services in Council Bluffs and surrounding areas. Getting help from a caregiver can benefit both you and your loved one and can help avoid potential medical emergencies. Our services can be combined for more specialized care and can be scheduled as needed. Our elderly care services include:
24-Hour Care
Seniors needing around-the-clock care can benefit from our 24-hour service in Council Bluffs. This kind of care is common for those with chronic conditions or other needs requiring constant support. Our caregivers can help seniors get to and from appointments, provide companionship, help with personal care routines, and assist them with moving around safely.
Personal Care
As seniors age, they often require help with tasks that they were once able to do easily. It's common for them to struggle with personal care needs that we don't think twice about. This includes brushing their teeth, fixing their hair, shaving, and using the restroom. While this can be a delicate matter for seniors, our caregivers are trained to offer them support in a caring and empathetic manner that maintains their dignity.
Companion Care
When seniors grow older, they commonly feel lonely as their children start their own families and have their own responsibilities. To help seniors with feelings of isolation, it's essential to keep them engaged socially and physically. Our caregivers not only provide hands-on at home senior care but can also be a friend for seniors to confide in. Companionship has been proven to positively affect seniors' mental health and help them avoid depression or other mental health issues.
Memory Care
For seniors who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia, daily chores can be highly challenging for them and can even be dangerous. Our caregivers are specially trained and educated to provide the best memory care. For family caregivers and close friends, we can also provide temporary at home memory care, known as respite care, so that you can take a break when you need to.
Respite Care
It's common for family members and close friends to take care of their senior loved ones. Those who are not trained in senior caregiving can often feel overwhelmed and burnt out, as seniors' needs are constantly changing and evolving. Our respite care services can provide temporary relief for family caregivers so that they can take some time to themselves to run errands or take a vacation.
Veterans Care
At Comfort Keepers, we can help veterans who need help to live and even thrive in their own homes. Our caregivers are knowledgeable of diseases that are commonly found in veterans, such as dementia and PTSD. For family members of veterans, we can offer respite care so that you can take a much-needed break. With veterans care, seniors will get help with personal hygiene, companionship, light exercise, and everyday household chores.Join Our Team of Comfort Keepers Caregivers
