When a grown son or daughter provides in-home senior care, they usually do so with a fierce devotion born of familial love and a noble sense of responsibility. However, they often lack the training and the resources—not to mention the time and energy—to provide an appropriate level of home care for seniors. There is little doubt that most would go to any length to help their loved ones maintain their independence, but it doesn't take long to realize just how big a project it is to look after another person who is not able to see to their own needs. That's where Comfort Keepers comes in.
What Will Comfort Keepers Bring to the Equation?
At Comfort Keepers, our mission is to provide high-quality in-home senior care in Cary to those who wish to preserve some measure of independence and remain in their own homes. We also want to provide their families with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their loved ones are safe and happy.
By offering senior care at home in Cary, we aim to address the needs of our clients on a holistic level, meaning that we assist with their physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. When we begin working with our clients, a care coordinator will spend time with the seniors, their families, and, in some cases, other healthcare professionals to create a highly individualized care plan that addresses the client's specific needs.
At that point, one of our dynamic, compassionate caregivers will begin working with your loved one, carrying out the details of the care plan. The caregiver might visit them on a weekly or daily basis or might spend nights in their home with our 24-hour care services, depending on their needs and the level of care outlined in the plan. It's important to note that the care plan is a fluid document that can be changed according to the wants and needs of the client.
If you are a regular or family caregiver of a senior and would like to continue giving care but need a break to recharge, we can step in with respite care services for as long as you need to rest and take some time for yourself.
What Are the Dimensions of In-Home Senior Care?
Providing senior care at home means helping them with different parts of their lives. Whether it's assisting with laundry or light housework or sitting up with clients in the middle of the night when they are experiencing restlessness, a caregiver's job is to be exactly what the client needs, exactly when they need it. There is also a familial component to the work because of the logistics of working so closely with one another.

Emotional Care
When people get older, they necessarily spend more and more time at home. There can be many reasons why people shy away from social engagements. Exhaustion may be a factor, as one may become confused during conversations or not be able to hear well. We've found that clients come to view their caregivers as allies who help them be brave and put themselves out there more often than not. The caregiver validates their thoughts and feelings and engages in all sorts of conversations. This validation is a serious trust-builder and bonding agent.
What Do We Look for in Our Caregivers?
Providing exceptional senior care at home requires a unique blend of qualities. Compassion and empathy are paramount, qualities we meticulously screen for during our rigorous application process. Our caregivers are entrusted not only with their clients' physical well-being but also with their emotional happiness. They excel at listening attentively and responding sensitively to their needs.
A common sentiment expressed by our caregivers is that their time with clients feels like being with family. This intimate connection defines their work. Whether sharing casual conversations during meals or engaging in profound discussions about life, our caregivers provide support in various forms—from offering advice to simply lending a compassionate ear.
