Starting the In-Home Care Service
The Comfort Keepers story began in 1998 when Kristina Butler, a registered nurse working in home health care discovered firsthand the need for someone to assist her patients with their non-medical needs. As a nurse, she was only allowed to tend to their medical, or skilled care, needs.
Her clients often valued companionship above all else and requested small favors to improve their quality of life. Whether it was help with laundry, a ride to a doctor’s appointment, or just to spend time over a puzzle, her patients simply wished to have someone brighten their day with a few minutes of conversation and a helping hand at home.

Kristina brainstormed with her family to find a phrase that captured the emotion and sentiment of their future business. Kristina’s daughter suggested “Comfort Keepers” based on the company’s goal: to keep clients comfortably at home as an alternative to expensive nursing homes and senior facilities. And Comfort Keepers was born!
Since 1998, the company has flourished from a dream to 700+ locations worldwide. Today, Comfort Keepers is the solution for uplifting in-home care services to thousands of seniors every day. Comfort Keepers is available in 13 countries through independently owned and operated locations that make a difference in the lives of seniors and other adults in their community.
The Comfort Keepers franchise system includes a large, global network of caring individuals. Many of our location owners came to Comfort Keepers as a result of their own experiences caring for a loved one. After discovering the tremendous difference in-home care makes in the quality of a senior’s life, they wanted to be a part of a culture of care.
