Comfort Keepers certified as a great place to work; company provides meaningful, rewarding and purposeful career opportunities for today’s caregiver

Comfort Keepers, a market-leading provider of uplifting home care for seniors and adults who need assistance, has been awarded the Great Places to Work® Certification – a program managed by the Great Places to Work Institute and its senior care partner Activated Insights. The certification process involved surveying employees from Comfort Keepers locations across the country and evaluating more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job. The survey found that 87% of employees at Comfort Keepers say it is a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.

Currently celebrating their 25 Anniversary, Comfort Keepers has helped tens of thousands of seniors and their families find connection, positivity and purpose, while providing meaningful support for the caregivers who nurture them. The Great Places to Work survey evaluated both Comfort Keepers caregivers and office staff nationwide on topics such as, employee pride in the organization’s community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. Rankings are based on both caregiver and employee experiences, no matter who they are or what they do for the company.

Topline results include:

• 94% said their work has special meaning and this is not "just a job."
• 93% said when they look at what they accomplished, they feel a sense of pride.
• 93% said when they joined Comfort Keepers, they were made to feel welcome.
• 92% said they feel good about the ways they contribute to the community.
• 91% said they feel like they make a difference at the Company.

We are incredibly honored to be certified and named as a ‘Great Place to Work’ certified company,” said Ramzi Abdine, Chief Executive Officer, Comfort Keepers, North America. “Whether an employee is working at an office or a caregiver is entering into someone’s home, nothing is more important than ensuring all of our employees have a positive, meaningful experience where people are continuously elevating people. We strive to provide an opportunity for a meaningful, long-term career, and not just a job.
