WHY
COMFORT KEEPERS IS DIFFERENT!
Our Company Mission
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 are
caring for a member of our own family.
We are part
of a large, establish nationwide organization
As of January
2003, there are more than 400 offices in 48 state. Each
office is independently owned and operated and the Fairfax
office is family-owned. This gives you the peace of mind
that you have direct access to owners at any time and the
comfort that we are backed by one of the very best companies
in the industry.
Quality of Caregivers
-
Extremely
selective. We hire fewer than 1 in 50 who call.
-
We look for
caregivers who we would trust to care for our own parents.
If we could not trust them in our own family's home,
then we would not want them in yours.
-
We treat our
caregivers with the utmost respect and dignity, so they
can do the same with our clients.
-
Thoroughly
screened for criminal and abuse records, motor vehicles
and credit reports, past employment and personal reference
checks.
-
We pay competitive
wages and provide bonus and incentives to all our employees.
Our employees are the foundation of our organization.
Owners
who care about the Senior Community
Laura
and Michael enjoy working with seniors, helping them
remain independent in their homes. They have
shown their dedication by both becoming Certified Senior
Advisors. They are members of the Central Fairfax and Annandale
Chambers of Commerce, Laura is the Vice-Chairman with the
Prince William Commission on Aging and is a member and
is the 2003 “Rookie of the Year” of the Fairfax
Noon-Day Optimist Club. Mike has recently been elected
as vice president of the Noon-Day Optimist Club. Both
Mike and Laura enjoy volunteering at various local charities.
Caregivers are Employees, not Subcontractors
-
No illegal “shenanigans” to
avoid paying legitimate payroll taxes, workers’ comp,
liability insurance, which will cause problems for
caregivers and client alike with IRS
-
Their taxes
and unemployment are paid by Comfort Keepers
-
Our liability
and un-owned auto insurance covers employees
-
Each
employee is bonded and fully covered for Worker’s
Comp
-
There
are SERIOUS consequences to clients who hire through
nurse registries or other agencies, which may illegally
employ subcontractors, rather than employees to try
to beat the payroll taxes and insurance coverage. Even
worse, hiring someone “off the street and under the table” places
full liability for their taxes and worker’s comp
insurance on the client! You also have no coverage whatsoever,
against theft or embezzlement. The “cheapest” could
easily be the most expensive!
Competitive Rates
-
Fairly
priced in the marketplace – our fees are
as low as we can possibly make them and still provide legitimate,
legal, trained, screened, excellent caregivers. We are
extremely competitive with all other “legal” vendors.
-
Can’t
be the cheapest AND the best. Which would you have
chosen if you were us?
-
No extra fee for night and weekends
-
No extra fee
for 2 clients in the same home
Involvement with Family and Other Professionals
-
Upon request,
we will stay in contact with relatives, friends, attorney,
and other health care providers
We make time
to be compassionate
