Giving Thanks

As we approach the end of yet another year, we are reminded of all that we have to be thankful for in this world.


Here at Comfort Keepers, we are always reminded of the men and women who welcome us into their homes each and every day. It can be difficult to admit it when you have reached the point in your life when you need assistance with tasks that were once mundane and commonplace.


So during this season of giving thanks, we would like to stop and take a moment to do just that.


Thank you for welcoming us into your home.
Thank you for granting us the pleasure of getting to know you.
Thank you for allowing us to share in your day-to-day life.
Thank you for trusting us to help you heal.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and memories.
Thank you for introducing us to your family.
Thank you for the laughter and the tears.
Thank you for helping us learn how you like you home to be kept.
Thank you for your patience as we learn your routine.
Thank you for your gratitude.
Thank you for choosing us.
Thank you for keeping us.


We would be nothing without you.


Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank You





November 11 is set aside in commemoration of the end of hostilities in 1918 and 1945 and observed as a legal holiday in the United States to honor the veterans of the armed forces.

At Comfort Keepers, we would like to take this time to say thank you to all veterans. Thank you for being brave enough to make the ultimate sacrifice to defend not only our freedoms, but the freedoms of others throughout the world.

***

Did you know that veterans and their spouses are often eligible to receive additional monthly benefits to reimburse them for the services that Comfort Keepers offers? 


Lycoming County's Veterans Affairs Office is a great resource. Recently featured in the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, the VA office is there to assist you in determining if you are eligible for assistance.

National Caregivers Month

November is National Caregivers Month. Here at Comfort Keepers, we would be nothing if not for our caregivers. It is their great service that has earned us the outstanding reputation that we maintain in the greater Williamsport Area. 

Did you ever want to know more about how we choose our caregivers? 

Upon applying for the chance to become a Comfort Keeper, our diligent Human Resources Coordinator, Stacie Brion, will perform a thorough background check on each candidate. Not only do we check the references provided, we run national AND local criminal checks. We verify that our caregivers maintain valid driver's licenses and insurance. It is important to note that we do not only check these items during the hiring process, but annually to ensure that we only maintain the best employees. 

Upon hiring, our potential Comfort Keeper must attend an orientation session, in addition to successfully completing a variety of state-of-the-art online training modules. Only then are they able to be scheduled as a Comfort Keeper.

Our Comfort Keepers are required to attend regular training 3 times per year, so that we can ensure that they have the most updated information in the industry. Our Comfort Keepers are bonded and insured and can provide you the best service in the industry.

Comfort Keepers is an EOE. Qualified applicants are considered for all positions without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, or marital status, or the presence of a non-related medical condition or disability.
