My caregiver is great. She knows when I need help,but she also knows when to let me try things by myself. She’s always tuned into my needs. She does little things that make feel cared for….like turning back my bed and cleaning around my chair. She’s open to doing things that need to be done around the house. I don’t know how we’d get along without her.

Comfort Keepers were a salvation for our mom. Unfortunately, her health had been on a downward spiral all of 2019. In the hospital, then out, and then back again. We were able to get mom rehab to strengthen her and get her walking again so that she was finally able to return home. She was home for a few weeks and that is just where she wanted to be! I called Kathy Murphy at Comfort Keepers for her assistance. She was able to arrange a home health aide right away. She was fabulous. I only wish mom would have been able to enjoy Shelly for a longer time.
Shelly provided my mom excellent companionship, assistance with personal hygiene, and so much more.

I am a current client and based on the level of professionalism, friendliness and willing to help in any way possible I will not change to another provider. The help I currently need is for a 98 year old parent with dementia. Thankfully we don’t need in home care at this time but, just being able to have a respite for a day is very helpful. The scheduling for these days is always easy and the caregivers that have come are prompt and show a deep desire to provide a caring environment and, best of all, my mother-in-law has loved them. I can’t say enough good things about the people that I work with to make a non-stressful day for my family.

Our experience with ComForCare Senior Services was really good, but the last girl that we had didn’t want to do anything; she just sat there and watched TV. We had four different ones, and they worked out really great. They helped with basic things like helping my mother take a bath and just assisting her around the house. I would recommend them. The very first gal who showed up did an excellent job. She was well liked, and she was good at what she did.

My husband is the one who receives the care and he is very comfortable with the caregiver. We have a male caregiver and he helps my husband with feeding, bathing and minor house chores. He is very good at his job. I’m glad that we have the same person all through out so we don’t have to adjust over and over again it they send different ones. He works for us 2 hours and week and on top of 4 hours every other week. My husband and I are very happy with the service they provide and we are hoping to be with them as long as there’s still a need for us to have in-home care.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
