Comfort Care Homes #641 stands as a recognized pioneer in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, offering long-term residential support within the Kansas region. Since its founding in 1993, Comfort Care Homes has worked diligently to elevate the standards of care, consistently implementing innovative, research-driven practices that draw upon both industry knowledge and the organization’s own extensive experience. These practices set Comfort Care Homes apart, as it was among the first to introduce the concept of dementia care in a residential home setting, moving away from the traditionally impersonal and clinical approach found in larger institutions. The philosophy centers on providing care in an intimate, home-like environment that reduces the stress and anxiety commonly felt by individuals living with dementia.
Residents of Comfort Care Homes #641 receive personalized care tailored for a spectrum of dementia-related conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and other cognitive disorders. Every member of the care team is given in-depth training in the latest best practices for each stage of dementia. The focus remains on providing not just physical care, but also meaningful engagement with each resident, promoting dignity, safety, and comfort in all aspects of daily life. The home is designed to mirror a real residence, fostering a natural and reassuring atmosphere, while still offering around-the-clock support akin to traditional assisted living.
Comfort Care Homes #641 believes strongly in community and connection, regularly supporting residents to engage in activities and experiences both within the home and in the wider Wichita area. For example, the ComfortCare Team has participated in outings such as visits to Botanica the Wichita Gardens, reflecting the home's dedication to holistic well-being and quality of life for its residents. Pets are welcome companions within the home, contributing to the warm and lively environment that distinguishes Comfort Care Homes from more conventional care providers.
Education and advocacy are integral to the mission at Comfort Care Homes #641. The organization offers resources for families and caregivers seeking to understand early signs of dementia, as well as information and support for navigating the progression of these conditions. In addition to supporting residents and their families, Comfort Care Homes is committed to ongoing staff development and leadership in the field of dementia care. The home also supports prospective staff members in accessing meaningful careers at the forefront of dementia and Alzheimer’s care, demonstrating its dedication both to excellence in caregiving and to the broader community it serves.
