In quality medical care, as a general rule, bigger is better.  Where memory loss disorders are concerned, the rule is more the opposite.  Everything about a ComfortCare Home is designed to make the surroundings familiar, the care consistent, to foster links with the past, and replace confusion and anxiety in the mind of the Resident. For example, our staffing patterns are different, with one CareTeam assigned to each home. Result, our Residents become familiar with CareGivers they see on a predictable schedule, instead of having to cope with new faces every few hours. Also thanks to this staffing concept, our CareTeam members become very familiar with not just the health care needs of the resident but with their personal habits, their likes and dislikes, a crucial component of meeting each Resident's individual health and emotional needs.

Because of our focus on psychological and social comfort, many of our Residents have had to rely less on medication to treat anxiety and agitation. Moving your loved one to a family home is the best approach you can take to minimize "transfer trauma," that is, the shock of being thrust into totally foreign, clinical surroundings. We like to say it's a change of address, not lifestyle.

At ComfortCare, we evaluate each new Resident to determine their specific needs. The process includes input from their physician and family members to learn not only the person’s physical needs, but also social background – family history, personal interests, relationships, special dates and occasions. 

Our CareTeam then works with the family to develop an individualized plan of care. This personalized care plan forms the foundation of each Resident’s life at ComfortCare Homes. (Care plans are continually monitored and modified as needed.)

The CareTeam: Personal, Professional

We offer a higher ratio of certified staff to Residents than you will find in larger, institutional nursing facilities or assisted living centers.  One CareTeam, a well-trained and compassionate staff of CareGivers, is dedicated to each ComfortCare Home.

Under the direction of each Resident's primary physician, our CareTeam is able to personally attend to your loved one's physical needs. But just as important, our environment is uniquely attuned to their social and emotional needs, with the intent to restore and support feelings of self-esteem, dignity and success in daily living.

Complete Care for All Stages of Alzheimer's

Our care focuses on one class of diseases: Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's and other memory-impairing diseases. We are qualified for and committed to making ComfortCare Homes the best choice for our Residents and their families, whether they come to us in early or more advanced stages of memory loss. For many Residents, a move to a skilled nursing complex will never be necessary. Our environment, expertise, and individualized care make ComfortCare Homes the “choice” of many medical professionals.
