About
What began as a registered nurse's compassionate observation has blossomed into a global movement of care. In 1998, Kris Butler, working in home health care in Dayton, Ohio, noticed a recurring theme among her patients: they required more than just medical attention; they yearned for companionship, assistance with daily tasks, and a helping hand to maintain their independence at home. Realizing that these non-medical needs were just as vital to a senior's well-being as their clinical care, Kris founded Comfort Keepers with a mission to elevate the human spirit. From those humble beginnings, the company has expanded into a vast international network, now boasting over 700 locations worldwide. Comfort Keepers has redefined the concept of in-home care by focusing on 'Interactive Caregiving,' a philosophy that transforms day-to-day caregiving into opportunities for meaningful engagement. Today, the organization stands as a leader in the senior care industry, providing a wide range of services from personal care and companionship to specialized Alzheimer's and dementia support, all while maintaining the personal, local touch that sparked its creation over two decades ago.
