We were recently featured in the March edition of Traverse City Business News!

'The startup recently caught the eye of Russ Knopp, owner of the local Comfort Keepers Northern Lower Michigan and Comfort Keepers Petoskey franchises, and Memory Bright is now working to launch a pilot initiative that will put its app in the hands of Comfort Keepers caregivers - not just in Traverse City, but also poten­tially across the home care company's hundreds of franchises.

"Having worked with hundreds of fam­ilies caring for a loved one with dementia, we know how much reminiscing, hearing family stories retold, and connecting with familiar voices can impact mood, func­tioning and quality of life,• Knopp said. "When we heard about the concept the founders of Memory Bright were working on, we immediately saw the potential of their idea to make a difference for families in an easy, accessible way. We're working with Memory Bright to connect families we serve across the region with its innovative platform, and we're seeing firsthand the joy it can bring to family members and their loved ones."

Some stories stay with you. 💛

Today, one of our incredible caregivers shares a touching story about her client and his powerful message: seize the day.

It’s a reminder that no matter our age or stage of life, each day is a gift worth embracing. We’re honored to witness moments like these — and even more honored to share them with you.

✨ Staff Spotlight - Amber✨

This week, we are celebrating one of our incredible Comfort Keepers who truly embodies what it means to show up with heart.

When asked what motivates her, Amber shared:
"It's knowing that they're counting on me." And she lives those words. Last week, she showed up with consistency and dedication for her clients, making sure they felt supported, cared for, and never alone. Her reliability made a meaningful difference — and she was also the winner of our February weekly drawing this week!

Amber embodies our value of Responsibility by being present, dependable, and deeply committed to the people she serves. This is what compassionate care looks like in action.

We are so proud to have team members who care this deeply. Our Comfort Keepers don’t just clock in — they show up with purpose, heart, and a genuine passion for serving others. 💙

Please join us in celebrating her!

Happy American Heart Month ❤

This February, caring for your heart can start with simple, meaningful moments—moving a little more, sharing a laugh, staying connected, and building routines that support both body and mind.

At Comfort Keepers, heart health is part of how we care every day. Our caregivers help seniors stay active, engaged, and supported at home, because strong hearts and healthy routines help people live more independently, longer. 🏡✔

Looking for trusted, in-home care that supports the whole person?

We’re here to help. Visit ComfortKeepers.com to learn more.

🌟 Celebrating Responsibility in Action — Betsy M.! 🌟

This week, we’re proud to honor a caregiver who truly embodies our company value of Responsibility through her consistency, care, and commitment to her clients. Betsy has been with us for 8 years, and her impact continues to be deeply felt.

She shared how she prepares for every shift:
💬 “I charge my phone every night, plan to leave early for winter roads, and my favorite thing to tell my clients is, ‘Nothing would stop me from coming to see you!’”

That mindset creates safety, trust, and peace of mind for the people she serves. Her consistency means her clients know they can count on her — and that reliability strengthens relationships, care outcomes, and quality of life.

Thank you Betsy for 8 years of showing up with heart, professionalism, and responsibility. You make a difference every single day. 💙

When you hear "Walk a mile in my shoes", what comes to your mind?
At Comfort Keepers, we know that classroom training paired with comprehensive hands-on training are critical for building solid skills and empathetic care.

Our new Comfort Keepers work with experienced trainers (such as Linda, LPN) in a classroom setting which includes "walking a mile in my shoes", or today - "riding in my Hoyer lift"! Tomorrow they will be working in homes across Northern Michigan alongside experienced caregivers for their first shadow shifts, strengthening their skills and elevating the spirits of our neighbors.

Please join me in welcoming Kady, Sarah, and Leif to the Comfort Keepers team!

Kylie is studying to become a social worker, and she truly lives the Comfort Keepers' mission to elevate the human spirit every day. Please join us in celebrating Kylie's anniversary and thank her for the care and compassion she shares with our neighbors.
