Comfort Keepers is comprised of a network of caring individuals who are equally committed to providing comforting solutions. In fact, many of our owners were drawn to this business as a result of their own experiences in caring for a loved one. As you begin to review your options, let us be your helping hand.
Our Mission is to provide our clients with the highest level of quality of life that is achievable.
We shall treat each of our clients with the respect and dignity they deserve, as though we were caring for a member of our own family.


The Comfort Keepers story began in 1997 when Kris Clum, a Registered Nurse in home healthcare, experienced the need first hand. Sometimes the requests were simple – a loaf of bread or a quart of milk. Sometimes, it was simply a request for a few minutes of conversation to brighten the day.
However, as a nurse, she was only allowed to tend to her patients’ “medical” needs. Kris and her entrepreneurial husband, Jerry Clum, Jr., knew in their hearts and in their minds they could provide a solution.
Today, that solution is known as Comfort Keepers – the business Jerry and Kris founded to offer comforting solutions to help people stay in their own homes. Comfort Keepers provides non-medical in-home care to thousands of people across the United States, Canada, and the UK – one person at a time.
