Call for a Virtual or In-Home Assessment

At Comfort Keepers, we fully support seniors who want to age in place and support them every step of the way. Aging in place is when seniors stay in their own homes for as long as possible, rather than moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home. 

Because seniors have gone through their entire lives handling everything by themselves, it can be difficult for them to accept that they need the help of an in-home caregiver. However, simple tasks like bathing and getting out of bed can become much more difficult as they age. 

In the beginning, seniors may need help to maintain their daily lives, such as help with grocery shopping, visiting friends, and cooking nutritious meals. Later in life, seniors may need help around the clock to prevent them from falling or injuring themselves. Wherever your loved one is in life, our caregivers can offer a comforting presence in times of need. 

Is In-Home Care the Right Choice for Your Loved One? 

It's normal for seniors to desire to stay at home as they get older because it's comfortable and familiar. Even if your loved one doesn't need a 24-hour caregiver at the moment, it's essential to plan for the future to avoid confusion. Many times, decisions to move to a senior facility are made abruptly after a health crisis or significant life event. In this circumstance, it can be challenging to adjust. In-home care can be flexible and scheduled for as long as you need to ensure your loved ones' needs are met. When they need more extensive care, we can constantly adjust the care plan.

Talking to Your Loved One About In-Home Care

If you've noticed that your loved one's home is messier than it used to be, or if they start to isolate themselves, it might be a good time to discuss in-home care. It's sometimes difficult to bring up the subject of care to a senior loved one. When talking about in-home care, it's essential to speak clearly and compassionately to your loved one to ensure that they feel validated and heard. Talking to seniors in an empathetic way helps them feel comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it. 

Benefits of In-Home Care

Above all, having a caregiver around provides a strong safety net, minimizing the chances of falls and mishaps right at home. Our dedicated caregivers are there to lend a hand with various tasks, ensuring your loved one can enjoy a secure environment. When you choose Comfort Keepers, you're gaining access to a host of advantages through our in-home care services, such as:

• Maintained Independence: In-home care allows seniors to remain in their own homes and be independent rather than moving to a senior living facility. 
• Personalized Care: Our care plans allow for a more individualized approach to care, as the caregiver focuses on the needs, preferences, and desires of each senior. 
• Familiar Surroundings: For many seniors, the familiarity and comfort of home can be a source of happiness and well-being. 
• Improved Quality of Life: When we take care of seniors at home, it boosts their happiness and health. We ensure they can fully enjoy their care, whether it's hobbies or activities.
• Convenience: Having an in-home caregiver can be more convenient than having to travel to appointments or move to another location. 
• Continuity of Care: Because our caregivers see their clients regularly, they can catch illnesses or injuries before they worsen. 

Our In-Home Care Services

Some seniors need a hand in the morning to get cleaned up and dressed. But others need someone around all the time, 24/7. We're here to determine what each senior needs and ensure they're looked after, no worries. Our in-home care services include:

• Personal Care: We can help seniors maintain good hygiene by offering support with bathing, dressing, and toileting.
• Companionship: Our caregivers offer support and build authentic, heartfelt connections with those they care for.
• Respite Care: For family caregivers, we offer respite care services so that you can take a well-deserved break. 
• 24-Hour Care: Our caregivers can provide around-the-clock support to seniors who need constant care to ensure their safety. 
• Post-Hospital Care: We can help seniors return home after a hospital stay, offer reminders to take their medications on time, and take them to follow-up appointments.
• End-of-Life Care: For seniors who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, our caregivers can provide much-needed support for seniors and their loved ones.

In-Home Care for Veterans

Our caregivers can assist seniors with tasks like cleaning, cooking, and bathing to keep things comfortable. Some veterans might be eligible for VA benefits that can help cover the costs of their in-home care. Even spouses might qualify for respite care.
