At Comfort Keepers, we believe in using forward-thinking technology solutions to improve transparency of care, reduce social isolation, and improve engagement. Our caregivers are trained to utilize a variety of technologies to foster connection and purpose for seniors and their loved ones.

Find peace of mind with our online family portal

Keeping seniors and their families connected and informed is critical, even more so when family members are unable to visit their loved ones as frequently as they would like. Maintaining in touch with family members is, in fact, one of the greatest sources of joy for many seniors. Families can rest easy knowing their loved one is in good hands when they use Comfort Keepers' free online family portal. Caregivers can use our online portal to share updates on your loved one's daily activities, care plans, and potential areas of concern. Within the portal, family members can easily ask questions regarding their loved ones assisted in home care and make requests.

Using technology to foster connection and increase engagement

In today’s world, email, social networks, and phone calls serve to keep many of us connected to each other and the world. Using these technologies to feel close together can be as effective as in-person visits – especially when being together in the same room isn’t possible.

For seniors, finding ways to maintain connections to family and friends is critical for mental and emotional well-being. And there isn’t any doubt that being connected to the world is beneficial for seniors. Social isolation has negative effects, including diminished cognition and depression. Comfort Keepers caregivers implement modern solutions to help reduce feelings of loneliness and social isolation for seniors. This can include:

• Regularly scheduled phone and video calls
• Sharing of family photos and event recordings
• Games and activities that help cognition and memory
• Facilitating online activity, including access to music, dance, photography, and hobbies

As part of the individualized assisted in home care plan created for each client in State College, Altoona, Clearfield, and the surrounding area, families and friends can define their goals in a way that is secure, attainable and provides increased quality of life.
