Comfort Keepers of North Idaho has opened up a new office in Sandpoint, beginning May 1 to meet the growing demand for quality in-home care services for seniors throughout the panhandle.

The office will be managed by Patti Fulton, a Sandpoint area resident with strong ties to the community. With the opening of the new office in Sandpoint, Comfort Keepers will be better able to respond to the growing demand for in-home care for seniors who want to live independently in their own homes as long as possible.

“We are proud to announce that Comfort Keepers will have a brick and mortar presence in Sandpoint to more effectively provide the quality in-home care services for seniors in the northern panhandle” said Kat Vercruyssen, owner of Comfort Keepers of North Idaho. “We are proud to have Patti Fulton on board to manage the Sandpoint office and we look forward to serving seniors and others in the panhandle area who want a personal care services provider committed to delivering a quality experience.”

Comfort Keepers is the only in-home care agency in the northern Idaho panhandle to successfully receive certification from the National Private Duty Association as a “Home Care Pulse Certified” provider of in-home care. Certification is attained through a rigorous best practices client and caregiver satisfaction measurement program administered by the NPDA that provides proof of quality care to those seeking in-home care services.

Comfort Keepers of North Idaho has been helping seniors enjoy independent living in the comfort of their own home through a wide array of supportive in-home care services. Comfort Keepers, owned locally by Kat and Jim Vercruyssen since 1999, is the leading provider of in-home care solutions for Idaho seniors living in Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone counties. Comfort Keepers has been designated as a 2013 “Provider of Choice” by the National Private Duty Association.
