Comfort Keepers

Comfort Keepers provides in-home senior care services in Milford, Connecticut and surrounding areas. The company offers non-medical home care through personalized care plans developed for each senior client, helping them maintain independence and quality of life while remaining in their own homes.

Services include companionship care, personal care assistance, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation, and mobility support. The organization also provides specialized in-home hospice care and respite care options. For seniors with cognitive decline, terminal illnesses, or those recovering from hospital stays, Comfort Keepers develops individualized care plans addressing both daily activities and specialized care needs.

Comfort Keepers employs an approach called Interactive Caregiving that emphasizes social engagement, senior nutrition, home safety, and mental and physical stimulation. Caregivers are trained to engage seniors in activities such as brain exercises, reviewing family photos, listening to preferred music, and reading, while building meaningful relationships based on trust and compassion. The company also offers senior technology services including home monitoring and medical alert systems.

The caregivers receive training specific to Interactive Caregiving and work to understand each senior's preferences, likes, dislikes, and life history to create personalized engagement activities. Home modifications to improve safety, such as removing carpeting or installing floor lighting to reduce fall risk, may also be recommended by caregivers as part of comprehensive care planning.
