Comfort Keepers® Testimonials… From the Heart

“There is nothing better than seeing your client’s smiling face when you walk into the room to start your shift.”

Mélanie

“As an older caregiver for Comfort Keepers, I have found a new and exciting passion for helping people. Knowing the impact you can make in a person’s life in such a short time is a rewarding and enjoyable experience.”

Don

“Being a Comfort Keeper allows me to help great people in the City of Greater Sudbury. From Wahnapitae to the South End, every day brings something new.

Working for an organization like Comfort Keepers, allows me to leave with pride after every shift!”

Katelynn

“My work as a Comfort Keeper is very rewarding for me on a personal level and fulfills me on a spiritual level.

To see a face go from hopelessness to happiness because of something that I have done for them is very special.

Anyone can be a caregiver but it takes a caring person to be a good ‘Comfort Keeper’.”

Susan

I became a caregiver because I believe the older generation deserve dignity and quality of life.

Wanting to make a difference in the lives of my clients has been wonderful.  The people I have met are gracious and very thankful.

It makes a real difference in my day to know the simplest things can mean the world for people who are lonely and isolated.  This job has opened my eyes to the future, which will be for all of us.  I hope to have the same kind of help that is so easy to give.

“No other group gave me the support of a well organized staff and an on-going educational program essential for the development of a well informed and equipped caregiver.  Comfort Keepers’ mission and vision translates to a true desire for each of their employees to utilize their training, talents and experiences for success.

This success translates into our providing clients with exceptional food preparation, cleaning, and so on… but most importantly, providing an environment of compassionate care, safety, and happiness as they age with dignity.

There is no greater satisfaction than to see someone’s life improve because of the joint efforts of you and your co-caregivers!”

“I was born to be a caregiver… I choose to be a Comfort Keeper.”

Debbie D.
Comfort Keepers Midwest Regional Winner 2008

“I chose to become a Comfort Keeper to help people and make their lives a little easier and happier.  The part I enjoy the most about being a Comfort Keeper is that I get to know my clients like family.  I love to spend time with them.  I also try to find activities for them and make daily living easier and fun for them.”

“Comfort Keepers has helped me learn a lot about making new friends and appreciating life.  I realize that my clients may not be around forever, but they will always be in my heart.”

Shandra P.
Comfort Keepers Southeast Regional Winner 2008

“I chose to become a Comfort Keeper because I get great joy out of serving seniors.  I am currently in nursing school and taking care of seniors is a great experience and privilege.  I wanted to work somewhere that I could make a difference in peoples’ lives, and I knew Comfort Keepers was that place.”

“Comfort Keepers is different from any other place I have worked.  In the six plus years that I have been employed at Comfort Keepers, I have come to know that it is truly a company that cares for its employees and clients.  The other places I have worked are task oriented, but Comfort Keepers is relationship oriented.  Even our mission statement is different, to treat each of our clients with the respect and dignity they deserve, as though we are caring for a member of our own family.”

Patty T.
Comfort Keepers North East Regional Winner 2008

“I became a Comfort Keeper to assist, help keep our clients in their own homes, make their lives simpler, and help them accomplish as much as they can…  I enjoy the interactions with my clients and learning about their life experiences…..

Being a Comfort Keeper has enriched my life by more than I could ever imagine. I enjoy the people that I interact with.  Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever expect that I would be care-giving for seniors on a regular basis, nor how much they have changed my life and outlook.”

Norma N.
Comfort Keepers Mideast Regional Winner 2008

“I became a Comfort Keeper so I can help give the elderly the respect and care they deserve.  I enjoy seeing their faces when they achieve something new or do something that they didn’t think they would ever do again.

Being a Comfort Keeper lets me do the things with my clients that other places are not able to do on a one-on-one basis.  It is very important to our clients that they know someone is there to help them and to listen to what they have to say.”

Maria V.
Comforts Keepers Western Regional Winner 2008

“I chose Comfort Keepers because I wanted to represent an agency that only believes in giving 110%.  Michelle and Troy set high standards for the company, and they expect the same from their Comfort Keepers.”

“What I enjoy most about being a Comfort Keeper is the fact that I genuinely like to help people.  Whether it is cleaning around the home or making the client their favorite meal, just seeing the smile on the client’s face is proof enough that I am making a difference in their life.”

Jeanie E.
Comfort Keepers Central Regional Winner 2008

“When I first became a Comfort Keeper… I did not realize at the time that I was led here and how this job would choose me and the people that I would encounter.  Every one of them would touch my heart in some way.”

“It is not often that you feel truly valued as an employee or feel that your input matters, but at Comfort Keepers I am truly valued as an employee and person.  I know everyday what I do matters; I know everyday I am giving my clients a reason, a purpose and I get so much more in return.”

Glenda H.
Comfort Keepers Midwest Regional Winner 2007

“What being a Comfort Keeper has meant to my life would take too long to tell, because I’ve been blessed by so many things.”

“I am very honored to know that I have made a difference in the lives of my clients and that they have trusted me to come in to their homes to care for them.

I am thankful that God has blessed me with love and compassion and put the desire in my heart to be a Comfort Keeper. I leave each client’s home so blessed and lifted up. I truly enjoy my work.”

Jon S.
Comfort Keepers Northeast Regional Winner 2007

“I am extremely honored to be chosen as the Northeast Region Comfort Keeper of the Year. It is a mark of distinction I did not expect, but one that I am extremely proud of. I simply try to make my client’s day a bit more enjoyable. I never considered working at Comfort Keepers as job but rather my way of helping someone less fortunate than me.”

“After meeting my fellow regional winners today, it is a privilege just to be in their company. Any one of them will make a great “Comfort Keeper of the Year.”

Marilyn R.
Comfort Keepers Central Regional Winner 2007

“So many people do NOT have a career they love.  I cannot begin to describe the joy it brings me to give comfort to our clients as well as their families.  I feel I bring the client independence and the family peace of mind.

I become a part of their family and treat them as if they were part of mine.  God has blessed my life.”

Shakeria F.
Comfort Keepers Florida Regional Winner 2007

“I love being able to give back to the community, lending a helping hand to those who need one, and most of all seeing the smile I bring to the client’s face when I walk through the door.”

“To me, being a Comfort Keeper means doing what I love –where I can demonstrate the values of life that I strongly believe in.  I believe all people should be treated with honor, dignity and respect regardless of their circumstances. I love to come to work and I look forward to each working day for the different challenges I know it will bring. This is truly a wonderful work family.”

Theresa A.
Comfort Keeper of the Year 2007
Comfort Keepers Northwest Regional Winner 2007

“I enjoy the warm feelings I get from my clients after a shift.  They look forward to my visit with them because sometimes I am the light of their day. I can leave a shift with tears in my eyes from the appreciation of my dementia client or with pride when the ones who are able, get their wings and begin to take care of themselves once again.”

“I enjoy working for an employer where the employees are as important as the clients.  Comfort Keepers provides valuable training and supportive office staff.  As one past award winner said, “Clients leave a footprint in your heart.”

Yolande R.
Comfort Keepers Western Regional Winner 2007

“I chose to become a Comfort Keeper because I wanted a rewarding career. Being a Comfort Keeper has given my life worth and has made me a better person, which in turn I can give back to them.  I am helping my clients, but the truth is that they are helping ME!”

“I am rewarded daily as I see my clients smile when I come to their homes and make their time more valuable as a senior. I truly enjoy when I see my clients faces light up when I tend to their needs, as I would my own parents or family members.

Seniors need to feel valued at this time of their life and want someone to listen to their life’s great stories, which we can all learn by. Knowing you improved someone’s life is so invaluable. I love being a Comfort Keeper!”

Ida “Bunny” B.

Thank you very much for this reward!”

“I’ve been with Comfort Keepers in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for 6 years and I love every minute of my job!”

“When I applied for a job at Comfort Keepers, I had no idea what it was about.  When I noticed the camaraderie amongst the employers and employees, also reading the mission policy, I noticed how hard everyone was working toward the same goal.  That really impressed me.”

“I will always be a Comfort Keeper and every year I get better and better at what I do.  I hope I receive a Comfort Keeper when I become old because I’ll enjoy the same care I’ve given to each and every one of my clients.”
