Comfort Keepers

Comfort Keepers in Shrewsbury, New Jersey provides in-home senior care services including companion care, personal care assistance, live-in care, respite care, post-hospital care, and specialized memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia. The agency serves Monmouth and Northern Ocean Counties, including Jackson, Lakewood, Middletown, Shrewsbury, Red Bank, Holmdel, and Freehold.

The care approach centers on clinical oversight led by a Director of Nursing who conducts comprehensive assessments covering physical health, cognitive function, mobility, medication needs, and home safety evaluation. Care plans are personalized based not only on medical needs but also on what brings each client joy—their hobbies, routines, and meaningful connections. A Client Care Coordinator serves as a dedicated point of contact for each family, handling scheduling and care adjustments throughout the service relationship.

Caregivers practice Interactive Caregiving, engaging clients in activities that promote physical and mental well-being such as gentle exercise, puzzles, and reminiscing. For clients with memory loss, caregivers receive specialized training through Positive Pathways, a program designed to support seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia by teaching techniques to reduce confusion, redirect difficult behaviors, and maintain dignity through structured communication and familiar environmental cues.

The agency offers around-the-clock live-in care for seniors who require continuous monitoring and support, including those who may wander or sleepwalk. Services also include assistance with bathing, grooming, toileting, mobility, meal preparation, and medication reminders, all tailored to preserve client independence and dignity.

Comfort Keepers has operated in Monmouth and Northern Ocean Counties since 2013 under locally-owned ownership, with a team of experienced caregivers and clinical staff. The organization emphasizes building lasting relationships with clients and families, with the Director of Nursing personally developing and overseeing care plans to ensure clinical soundness and personal attention.
