Local Caregiver Honored as Comfort Keeper® of the Year at Annual Leadership Conference

Las Cruces, NM   Bonnie Howell not only provides in-home care services to local families, but was recently honored for her exceptional compassion, companionship, and service to the local seniors she attends.  Howell was recognized as a Comfort Keeper® of the Year at a special luncheon to honor her accomplishments held on Friday, October 25, 2019 during the Annual Comfort Keepers® Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

Howell,  a caregiver from the local Comfort Keepers of Las Cruces is one of only a few caregivers chosen annually to receive this recognition from the numerous Comfort Keepers franchises nationwide. Comfort Keepers of the Year are nominated by clients, peers, and Comfort Keepers franchisees. Caregivers are nominated for going above and beyond their normal duties to provide exemplary service to their clients. Winners are ultimately selected by the majority vote of the owners of the Comfort Keepers franchises.  

“To be recognized by Comfort Keepers as Comfort Keeper of the Year is a great honor,” said Howell.  “I am humbled at being selected from among so many truly dedicated caregivers all over the country. It is a special honor that I will cherish.”

“Bonnie, truly exemplifies and embodies the very best of the values that our caregivers so willingly share with our clients,” said Terrie Todd, owner of the Las Cruces & El Paso Comfort Keepers franchises.   It is just as much an honor for our Comfort Keepers to have one of our caregivers selected as Comfort Keeper of the Year. Ask any senior and they will say that they prefer to stay in their own home. I am thrilled to own a business that can make their wishes a reality.”  Todd purchases the existing Comfort Keepers in January 2015 and has helped hundreds of families in the community.

Comfort Keepers provides in-home care services on an hourly, daily or weekly basis with tailored packages customized to an individual’s needs. Packages include companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, incidental transportation, laundry, recreational activities, and more.
