When in comes to in-home care, Comfort Keepers is the "real deal"! I had been living with and caring for my mom since 2000, when my dad passed away. Mom's physical and mental decline was progressing, to the point where I was not comfortable leaving her home alone. I wanted to continue working, and struggled with the guilt of "not loving mom enough" to quit my job and be a full time caregiver. I did not want to admit that I needed help. We tried the "Assisted Living" route, and failed miserably after less than 2 years. Mom needed one on one attention and interaction. I had promised her that if things didn't work out, she could move back home. In September, 2015, mom came home. Fortunately, for both of us, I found Comfort Keepers. What a God-send! I was able to continue working, and mom had regular care givers who were professional, loving, caring and engaging! Mom became active again, going to the Wayne Senior Center frequently, or out to lunch, to get her hair done, doctor appointments or visit friends. Mom's care givers were attentive and quick to have mom help with chores around the house - prepping for dinner, folding laundry, sorting through mail, drying dishes. I would often come home to mom and Tanya laughing at a Carol Burnett episode that was playing, or finishing up a game of Old Maids or working a 1000 piece puzzle in the living room. Liz would be sure to pray with mom every morning before breakfast. Kathy showed mom how to make a holiday decoration using a coat hangar, string and LOTS of caramel candies! Dinner was family time, and we all sat down to eat together, with much conversation, silliness and laughter. Comfort Keepers care givers know how to create memories and excel at elevating a person's quality of life! Mom's care givers had my complete trust, I knew mom was in good hands.
The office staff was wonderful, too. Available 24/7, always pro-active and accommodating with changes in mom's schedule and supportive and compassionate when mom's health took a turn for the worse. Mom passed away 3 weeks shy of her 95th birthday - I am convinced that, because of her Comfort Keepers care givers, the last few years were some of her best! I would highly recommend, without reservation, Comfort Keepers to anyone looking for exceptional quality in-home care......look no further! Outstanding people: respectful, hard-working, humorous, patient, creative, collaborative, sensitive, insightful and observant...........you get it all with Comfort Keepers, they are the "real deal" in in-home care! read more
