Comfort Keepers was founded to help people stay in their own homes and give them the highest quality of care. It not only provides in-home care to thousands in North America, but it delivers it with compassion. Caregivers are all carefully screened and are required to have compassion and a sincere interest in providing support. Caregivers follow the highest standards, which includes a philosophy of always providing �excellent care� and always �doing the right thing.�

The number of Americans turning 65 is continually rising. The issue of aging adults who would prefer to stay in their own home but need some assistance is one that increasingly concerns their children, who frequently do not live nearby. The need for senior service care will continue to grow and, with hundreds of locations already in place around the world, the network of Comfort Keepers can easily offer a helping hand.
