Care Services FAQs

Comfort Keepers offers a wide range of personalized, non-medical in-home senior care services. Our core offerings include companion care (light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands), personal care (assistance with bathing, grooming, and mobility), specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care, respite care for family relief, and hospital-to-home transitional care to support recovery.

Yes. Comfort Keepers offers a complimentary, no-obligation in-home assessment.

During the visit, a Comfort Keepers care coordinator will take the time to understand your loved one’s health, daily routine, personal preferences, safety concerns, and care goals. We will answer your questions, explain available services, and recommend a personalized care plan.

The assessment also gives your family the opportunity to get to know Comfort Keepers, understand how our services work, and make an informed decision without any pressure or obligation.

In-home care allows seniors to remain in the comfort, familiarity, and independence of their own home while receiving tailored, one-on-one support. Unlike retirement homes or assisted living facilities with shared staff ratios, Comfort Keepers provides dedicated, individual attention that adapts precisely to your loved one’s schedule, preferences, and personal needs.

Our overnight caregivers can assist with:

Whether your loved one needs occasional overnight support or ongoing nightly care, Comfort Keepers can create a schedule that provides peace of mind for the entire family.

Whether you need a single visit, a few hours each week, overnight care, or ongoing daily support, Comfort Keepers will create a customized care plan with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. We also discuss any available funding options and HST exemptions that may apply.
