This year’s theme is built around the Power of Positivity, emphasizing the notion that age is merely a number and regardless of one’s birth year, the human spirit is important and can remain youthful.

As a brand that strives to never focus on loss and limitation, but all we can gain, Comfort Keepers is empowering their local offices, caregivers, seniors and communities to find ways to embrace the golden years with joy and vitality.
To celebrate, the Comfort Keepers of Fort Worth will be hosting a pair of gatherings at assisted living facilities, providing food, games and giveaways.

“We believe that age is not a limitation but an opportunity for seniors to live their best lives, embracing each day with joy, purpose and dignity,” said Scott Van Duinen, the agency’s owner & administrator. “With the work that we do – caregiving – we understand the value of keeping a positive outlook and the impact this mindset can have on our collective resilience and wellbeing.
