Evelyn* was diagnosed with dementia and her adult children knew she needed some additional assistance. Although she was living at a facility, they wanted to make sure their mom had someone they could trust to accompany her on walks, take her out for coffee, and spend quality time with her.

And that’s exactly what happened when they hired Comforts of Home – Care to help out.

Evelyn adored visiting with her caregiver. They had a great bond and it provided Evelyn with exactly the comfort and caring companionship she needed in her final days.

“Mom loved her caregiver—they had a great time!”

Evelyn had a warm, kind, and loving heart, and her family felt at ease, knowing that their mom was well taken care of during her last year of life with a consistent, compassionate caregiver!
