Comfort Keepers - Pittsburgh Northeast

At Comfort Keepers, nothing is more important than helping people live full, independent and dignified lives within the comfort of their own homes. Comfort Keepers is dedicated to providing in-home care that enriches our clients' lives and helps them maintain the highest possible level of independent living.

Our caregivers are special people and we refer to them as Comfort Keepers. They take everyday activities and transform them into opportunities to communicate with and engage their clients. We carefully match our clients and Comfort Keepers to create a partnership in care that is beneficial to both.

Our Comfort Keepers are:

• Selected after a rigorous interviewing process which includes yearly national, county and driving background checks
• Subject to personal and professional reference checks
• Bonded and insured employees, not independent contractors
• Covered by Workers Compensation

Training makes all the difference. Our core training provides interactive caregiving solutions that revolve around the philosophy of caring “with” instead of caring “for”, encouraging independence and confidence in our client’s lives. We provide ongoing training on many topics to meet our clients changing needs. Our Comfort Keepers are able to provide a variety of services including:
