Help at Home, Built Around Your Family

Most older adults want the same thing: to stay in their own home, in their own routine, for as long as they safely can. In-home care is how that becomes possible. It can be a little help a few hours a week, or steady support around the clock, and it can grow as needs change without your loved one ever having to move.

Comfort Keepers has cared for seniors since 1998, and our Cherry Hill office has served Camden and Burlington County families since 2007, from Cherry Hill and Haddonfield to Voorhees, Marlton, Moorestown, and Medford. Here is how the care breaks down.

Your options, from light help to full coverage

Companion care. Non-medical help: company, meals, errands, light housekeeping, and a watchful eye that catches problems early. See companion care.

Personal care. Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around safely, for a loved one who needs a steadier hand through the day.

24-hour and live-in care. For when someone cannot be left alone. 24-hour care covers every hour in shifts; live-in care is one caregiver in the home for a stretch at a time, and it costs much less than awake round-the-clock shifts. See 24-hour and live-in care.

Post-hospital care. Fast support after a discharge to help recovery go smoothly and lower the odds of going back in. See post-hospital care.

Respite care. A break for the family caregiver who is doing it all. See respite care.

Memory care. Specialized support for a loved one living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. See dementia care.

A nurse-led plan, not a stranger at the door

What sets our care apart starts before a caregiver ever arrives. Our trusted Director of Nursing, Carol Feliciano, BSN, RN, visits the home, sees how your loved one is really doing, and is the clinical set of eyes on every case as needs change. From there, a dedicated Client Care Coordinator, the experienced Tabitha Nathu, manages the schedule and supervises the caregivers, so you have one person who knows your family and you are never left supervising the help yourself.

We employ our caregivers and stand behind them, rather than handing you a name from a registry. We are accredited by NIHCA to the same kind of standard a hospital is held to. And if a caregiver is not the right fit, we will change it. We do not always land the perfect match on the first visit, and we would rather hear about it than have you settle.

How to get started

One phone call starts it. Kyra, our intake coordinator, takes most first calls, listens to what is going on, and sends a written preliminary care plan after that conversation, before you commit to anything. If it helps, the nurse will visit next. There is no long-term contract. Reach our Cherry Hill office at (856) 857-6120.

Common questions about in-home care

How do we know how much care we need?
You do not have to figure that out alone. Our nurse assesses your loved one in the home and recommends a starting point, and the plan flexes up or down from there. Many families begin with a few hours and adjust.

Who pays for in-home care, and does Medicare cover it?
Medicare does not cover ongoing non-medical home care. Most families pay privately or through long-term care insurance, and we file the long-term care paperwork and bill the insurer directly when a policy covers it. We are private-pay and do not work through Medicaid or state programs. Call and we will talk through cost for your situation.

Can veterans benefits help pay for care?
Often, yes. Comfort Keepers is an official VA provider, and many wartime veterans and surviving spouses qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, which can help cover in-home care.

How do you screen your caregivers?
Background checks are the minimum. We also check references, our nurse does a hands-on skills assessment, and we keep detailed notes over time so we know the people we send into your home.

Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. There is no long-term contract. A single visit needs only short notice to cancel, and stopping services needs a few days' notice. It should not feel like committing to a facility.
