History

Established in 2002.

The Comfort Keepers® story began in 1997 when Kris Clum, a registered nurse working in home health care, discovered first hand the need for someone to assist her patients with their non-​medical needs. As a nurse, she was allowed only to tend to their medical, or skilled care, needs.

Sometimes her patients would request something as simple as having a loaf of bread or quart of milk delivered – or to have someone spend just a few minutes in conversation to brighten their day.



Now with 650 franchised offices in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia and Singapore, Comfort Keepers has been named by INC. Magazine as one of the fastest growing franchise systems in the U.S. We were rated a «World Class Franchise» by the Franchise Research Institute in May 2009 and were listed in the «Top 200» list by Franchise Times in 2009

Meet the Business Owner

Erma E.

Business Owner

After 30 years as a Treasury Management Consultant to fortune 500 clients, I wanted to do something that would «make a difference in the lives of others». I enjoy being around seniors So, I started volunteering at a local senior center and I discovered in our conversations, they always wanted to go home or they questioned why they couldn’t stay in their own homes. This inspired me to research senior in –home care alternatives and that’s when I discovered Comfort Keepers website. I was impressed with their philosophy and their mission statement «We treat each of our clients with the respect and dignity they deserve, as though we were caring for a member of our own family»
