What is the difference between home care and healthcare?
Although in home care can be used to describe both medical and non-medical care, in most cases this term only refers to non-medical care. On the other hand, home healthcare refers to the delivery of skilled nursing care.
What services does Comfort Keepers offer in Davenport?

How do you select caregivers?
Rest assured that all of our caregivers share our vision and are completely dedicated to delivering top-quality care we are known for. Before we hire a new care provider, they have to undergo national and local criminal background checks, DMV, as well as personal and professional reference checks. All of our caregivers are bonded and insured.

Do you provide services in nursing homes or assisted living communities?
Apart from delivering care at home, we can also provide our services in nursing homes or assisted living facilities when seniors require additional care or support.
Is there a plan of care for each of your clients?
We are proud to provide customized care plans that are tailored to the specific needs of each of our clients. After learning about your loved one’s care needs and preferences we will create a Plan of Care. Once you, your family member and local office agree on the Plan of Care, our office will recommend the caregiver who will be delivering the service. Our plans are reviewed every six months, or even more often if needed.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver all the time?
Based on your loved one’s condition, care needs, preferences, and personality we will match them with a suitable caregiver. In case their care provider is sick or on a vacation, our care coordinator will arrange another caregiver and will contact you in advance of the change.

Activities of Daily Living are daily tasks that ensure normal everyday functioning, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living are less basic tasks, but still important for enhancing a client’s quality of life. These include activities such as shopping, running errands and household chores.
