The Comfort Keepers story began in 1998 when Kristina Butler, a registered nurse working in home health care in Dayton, Ohio discovered firsthand the need for someone to assist her patients with their non-medical needs. As a nurse, she was only allowed to tend to their medical, or skilled care, needs. Kristina brainstormed with her family to find a phrase that captured the emotion and sentiment of their future business. Kristina's daughter suggested “Comfort Keepers” based on the company's goal: to keep clients comfortably at home as an alternative to expensive nursing homes and senior facilities. And Comfort Keepers was born! Since 1998, the company has flourished from a dream to 700+ locations worldwide. Today, Comfort Keepers is the solution for uplifting in-home care services to thousands of seniors every day. Comfort Keepers is available in 13 countries through independently owned and operated locations that make a difference in the lives of seniors and other adults in their community.
