Throughout their entire lives, Renard and Ann Passerell have been searching for a way to make a significant positive impact on the lives of others. Through their church, they began to help elderly church members by doing chores and mowing their grass. As they looked for ways to become more involved, Renard and Ann discovered Comfort Keepers®, a national franchise with over 450 offices dedicated to providing the extra assistance needed by people wishing to remain in the privacy and comfort of their own home. Recognizing that Comfort Keepers® was exactly what they were looking for, Renard and Ann opened their local franchise in July 2002. During a recent visit at Comfort Keepers®, Ann explained their services and the "loving hearts" of their caregivers;

Comfort Keepers® provides affordable, non-medical in-home care for the elderly, new mothers, and those recovering from illness. These services are specifically designed for individuals or couples who are capable of handling their own physical needs, but may require or desire some assistance with the daily tasks of living. Our services include in-home companionship care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errand services, and grocery shopping. We're available to provide transportation services, daily "TLC" phone calls, laundry and linen washing, and recreational activities.

We've designed our services to offer the extra assistance needed by many people wishing to remain in the privacy and comfort of their own home by providing an alternative to nursing homes. Mom and Dan don't always need skilled care simply because they're losing their eyesight or having difficulty walking and remembering things. We're here to help them stay at home a little bit longer.

Our services are not just for the elderly, but also for new mothers and those recovering from illness or injury. We can help with the daily chores so new mothers can spend time bonding with their new arrival and our assistance can provide those recovering from illness or injury with the ability to convalesce in the comfort of their own home.

Comfort Keepers® is extremely selective when choosing our caregivers. All prospects must pass our "lovability test". We select caregivers with big hearts and look for the same qualities we would want in someone caring for a member of our own family. Naturally, every applicant is carefully screened and has undergone a thorough background check. Our standards are so high, only 1 of every 20 applicants for a caregiver position will become a member of our staff.

We genuinely care about, and not just for, our clients. The measure of our success isn't found on the bottom line, it's the difference in the lives of those we care for and work with every day!

Let Comfort Keepers® be your helping hand at home because there's no place quite like "home". Call Comfort Keepers® today and don't forget to tell them that The Advocate sent you!
