At Comfort Keepers #560 of Inverness, Florida we strive to transform day-to-day caregiving into opportunities for meaningful conversation and activities that engage and enrich the lives of seniors physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.

This practice of Interactive Caregiving can contribute to longer, healthier, more purposeful lives for seniors—a fact proven by many research studies that point to the health benefits of active living in later life.

And because we take this complete approach to caregiving, we also want to be a resource to the many seniors, caregivers, and loved ones seeking information about the things that matter most.

WHO NEEDS IN-HOME CARE?

Most of us know people in their senior years who want desperately to live out their lives in their own homes with familiar surroundings; but, because they can no longer do all of the activities necessary to stay alone in their home, they are forced to reduce their treasured possessions to a small box of memories and move to a retirement home.

We are not talking about people who require medical care or constant supervision, just wonderful folks who need a companion or a helping hand at times. Perhaps they need someone to take them shopping or to doctor’s appointments, or to cook dinner every day. Maybe they want to continue a favorite activity but they can’t get anyone to go with them or transportation to get there. Or maybe they need a little help with the difficult housekeeping chores of vacuuming, changing bed linens or laundry. Maybe they are having some difficulty with personal hygiene. Or would really enjoy someone stopping by a few times a week to play cards or enjoy crafts with them. Sometimes having an opportunity to talk about the old times with a companion who really is interested can brighten someone’s day and help them continue to feel valued.

Whether it is a few hours a week or 24 hours a day, the Caregivers at Comfort Keepers #560 of Inverness, Florida are making it possible for people to continue to live in their own homes and enjoy a quality of life that they thought was gone forever. Caregivers allow the clients to continue to live a normal life, and even heighten clients’ self-esteem by allowing them to continue their daily activities with assistance where needed. These trained Caregivers provide solutions to help people stay in their own home and live their life at their own schedule. Sometimes all that is needed is a little bit of assistance to enable someone to remain independent.
