The newest alternative in long term nursing care is ComfortCare Homes of Pittsburg. Where your loved one will receive professional care 24/7, in the comforts of a safe and secure residential home. Where our family is caring for your family. In 1993 Doug Stark opened a home for residents who have Alzheimer's and Dementia in Wichita Kansas, soon after this, he started franchising the business and now all over Kansas people are opening up ComfortCare Branches. These homes are exactly that, home, no impersonal hallways or hundreds of staff members. In the Pittsburg Branch, we have roughly 25 employees this includes our Owners, Alishia and Chris Windsor, our Nurse, Arthurene Simpson, our Home Supervisor, Denise Morris and our Marketer, Kasey Beeman. We hire CareGivers which consist of CNA's and CMA's who give 24/7 care as well as our in-house nurse who is on call, the home is visited by a Dentist, a Physician, an Otologist who come in the house to see our residents whenever possible. Our CareGivers do daily activities and exercises with our Residents as well as make homecooked meals for them three times a day and prepare snacks upon request. We ensure our Residents medications are lined our perfectly and that the medications aren't clouding their visions. We keep our houses small so that it is easier on our Residents with Dementia, a smaller, calmer environment is beneficial for people who have impaired memory because it makes it less confusing for them because they see the same faces day in and day out. We specifically designed our houses as homes because it helps with Families and Residents with the shock of being transferred due to them going from house to house instead of house to an institution (nursing home). The homes make Families feel better because they know after talking with the staff that they will be in good hands and well taken care of because we only take on 20 residents at any given time. We have two homes our 803 location (Millies' Place) and our 704 location (Colleens' Cottage).
