Our team at Comforting Transitions offers a wide range of elder care services to ensure seniors receive the support they need to live comfortably and safely. Here are some of the core services we provide:
Care Services
Our care allows seniors to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their home (personal residence, assisted living, memory care) while receiving the assistance they need. This type of care promotes independence, reduces the risk of hospitalizations, and offers family members peace of mind knowing their loved one is being cared for by evaluated, trained and monitored caregivers.

Companionship: Engaging seniors in meaningful conversation and activities to prevent isolation.
-
Medication Management: Keeping track of medications and ensuring they are taken as prescribed.
-
Transportation: Coordinating medical appointments and arranging transportation.

Our staff can provide training to family members or a caregiver on how to provide respectful and sensitive assistance with personal care, ensuring that your loved one feels comfortable and maintains their dignity.
Alzheimer’s and Other Forms of Dementia
