Comfort Keepers was founded in 1998 by Kris Butler, a nurse who recognized that her patients needed more than just medical support—they needed companionship and help with everyday tasks to stay safe and comfortable at home.

Aging comfortably at home is a goal many of us share, but we often forget about the need to keep our home safe. As you continue to enjoy your home, it’s essential to recognize and minimize potential hazards before they become problems.

This Older Americans Month, Aging Care Connections (ACC) is “Flipping the Script” by celebrating caregivers and seniors who age with grace and resilience. In the third blog of our four-part series, we spotlight our Caregiver Support/Aging Gracefully programs, which empower caregivers and older adults to thrive, proving aging is a shared journey of strength and connection.

May is Older Americans Month, and at Aging Care Connections (ACC), we’re celebrating by “Flipping the Script” on aging stereotypes.
