Care & Comfort at Home

My elderly father had lived with me for many years. Initially, he was very independent. He could walk, make his own lunch, and even help around the house. But two hospital stays later, he was a different man. He could no longer walk. While still sharp-​minded, he needed assistance with nearly everything physical: dressing, going on the potty, cleaning himself. And now, I also found myself on diaper duty. Because I was blessed to be working at home, I could do some of this care myself. But I still needed to work, and I needed time to myself occasionally, and I needed time to rest. And then… my husband became ill with lymphoma. I knew that I needed much more help. I could NOT do it all by myself anymore.
Enter Care & Comfort at Home. They helped me and my father in several ways. One of the biggest things they did for me was to assist me in setting up care through the VA (Dad is a WW II vet) so that part of the care they provided would be PAID FOR by the VA. That made me able to afford much more assistance, which allowed me to be able to care for my ill husband, and give me a break as well.
The care they provide is excellent, and it starts at the top. Owner David has a heart of gold. He and I talked at length about his motivations for running such a business, and I could tell from that conversation that he’s doing it purely out of the love of being able to give and provide to others who are in need. Pretty awesome.
His manager, Carissa, is just as devoted and dedicated to the care of seniors as David. Always available, always working hard to make sure our needs were met, and not just met, but met «accordingly.» Dad’s care was specific and he could be particular at times too, and Carissa always made sure that the caregiver assigned to my father was RIGHT for my dad and for his needs.
In my Dad’s old age, he was not an easy man to care for. He could be bossy, rude, and belligerent. But his individual caregivers were very patient with him and showed so much love for him, even when he didn’t always treat them with the same respect. I so appreciated their patience! They made his meals exactly as he wanted them, cared for his every need, talked to him and kept him company, and would back off when he needed his space.
I HIGHLY recommend Care & Comfort at Home for anyone seeking home care for a loved one. I loved having Dad at home as long as possible… Care & Comfort made me feel confident and good about doing just that.
