We believe that strong relationships between caregivers and clients are the foundation of exceptional care.

When caregivers and their clients connect on a personal level, it enhances the quality of care and creates a more positive experience for everyone involved.

The Caregiver's Journey co-founders Sue Ryan & Nancy Treaster share how caregivers and families can build healthier relationships based on trust, respect, and clear communication on this month's ComForConnections podcast episode: https://ow.ly/m5tt50Wr8cM

Our dedicated caregivers provide more than just assistance; they offer friendship, support, and a listening ear to your loved ones.

If you’re looking for compassionate companion care for your loved one, we’re here to help!

Let’s work together to ensure they feel supported and valued in the comfort of their own home. Reach out today! 💕

Caring for aging parents can be a rewarding yet challenging journey, especially when they are hesitant to accept assistance.

It’s not uncommon for older adults to feel a sense of pride or independence that makes them resistant to help, even when it’s needed.

As caregivers, it’s important to approach these conversations with empathy and understanding. Listen as Dr. Barry Jacobs, clinical psychologist and national caregiving expert, provides insight to help ease the transition on the ComForConnections podcast: https://ow.ly/Zwuw50WhEN5

Due to winter weather, there is a risk of icy/slick conditions forming on roads, sidewalks, and driveways overnight, creating hazardous travel conditions. If you must travel, please exercise extreme caution. And most importantly, slow down!

Officers will be responding to calls as quickly as possible, but due to call volumes typically increasing during winter weather, response times may be delayed. We appreciate your patience in advance.

Stay safe and check local weather updates regularly. ❄️

Our in-house nursing team conducts fall safety assessments for all ComForCare Home Care of Winston-Salem clients every 90 days. We also provide 24-hour to guard against the likelihood of falls in the home and respond to those that do occur within 180 seconds, which can significantly reduce the long-term health impacts of the fall itself.

"Fall interventions can save the health system hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the APHA policy brief. Performing home hazard evaluations alone could save an estimated $442 million."

Preventable falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, costing the U.S. health system more than $400 million annually.

With our larger space, and more central location, we look forward to continuing to provide thoughtful and compassionate care to , and their families, throughout the Winston-Salem metro area for decades to come!
