Comfort Keepers, a leading national provider of senior home care services, is growing once again — this time in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle will soon welcome a new Comfort Keepers location led by franchisee John Luethe and April Luethe, whose personal connection to caregiving and passion for community impact made the brand a natural fit. This will be the 620th location in the US serving clients. 

A Personal Mission Rooted in Experience

Their decision to join Comfort Keepers stemmed from a personal place. For the past two years, John and his family have experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating care for an aging parent. 

“My mom has been dealing with memory issues, and my brother actually took time off work to help,” John Luethe said. “We’ve seen the importance of support services for seniors and their families.”

Rather than approaching senior care from a place of fear or crisis, John and April were drawn to Comfort Keepers’ uplifting and positive philosophy. “What really resonated with us is that Comfort Keepers is about enhancing lives — giving seniors something to look forward to, helping them stay active, and bringing joy to their daily lives.”

Why Comfort Keepers

Though the Luethes had been aware of Comfort Keepers for several years, it wasn’t until a recent job transition that John and April began exploring the opportunity more seriously. Encouraged by a friend — now a multi-unit Comfort Keepers operator — they were impressed not only by the services the brand offers, but also by the leadership team behind it.

“One thing that stood out to us was how many people on the corporate team actually own franchises themselves,” he said. “It speaks volumes that the people who are building the systems and supporting franchisees are also running locations.” 

Getting Started in Seattle

The Luethes already have ambitious short and long-term goals for Comfort Keepers of Seattle. In the near term, their focus is on building a strong team and establishing the brand in the local community. “We want to reach a critical mass where we can impact every senior and family who may need our help in our region,” he said.

At the heart of Comfort Keepers’ approach is a commitment to its caregivers, something the Luethes plans to prioritize as they build out the local team. “Caregivers are the ones in clients’ homes every day, making a difference,” he said. “We want to create an environment where caregivers feel respected, supported, and empowered to provide the best care possible.”

A Franchise System That Delivers

The Luethes' onboarding experience with Comfort Keepers has only solidified their confidence in the brand. They’ve praised the thoroughness of the onboarding program, as well as the relationships they’ve already built with other new franchisees.

“The onboarding was incredibly well done,” John said. “Since then, I’ve stayed in touch with others from my onboarding group, and it’s been great to have that peer support as we all launch our businesses.”

As the Luethes prepare to open Comfort Keepers of Seattle, they are driven by the opportunity to serve a growing need in the community with compassion, professionalism, and purpose.
