As an advocate of positive, joyful living for 25 years, Comfort Keepers®, a market-leading provider of uplifting in-home care for seniors and adults, is celebrating its fifth annual National Day of Joy. On a mission to “Elevate the Human Spirit” during this holiday and every day, Comfort Keepers has based its business on the insight that no matter someone’s age or acuity, people still want to live a fulfilling life with joy and purpose. Celebrated on the last Wednesday in June (June 28, 2023), the National Day of Joy was established by Comfort Keepers to emphasize the importance of individuals finding joy.
This year’s theme is “Live the Joy” which encourages people to find a way to embrace the fun, meaningful, memorable moments that deliver the most joy and help them to live full, rewarding lives. As a brand that strives to never focus on loss, but all we can gain, Comfort Keepers is empowering their local offices, caregivers, seniors, and communities to find ways to embrace the moments of joy they live to the fullest.
Comfort Keepers has changed the lives of thousands by providing in-home care to loved ones. Their uplifting care services focus on physical, mental, and social wellbeing to help seniors live the highest quality of life in the sanctuary of their home. After 25 years, the Comfort Keepers brand still promises to help seniors thrive and achieve greater comfort by fostering everyday positive moments, connections, and a more purposeful life.
Locally owned and operated by David Coker, Comfort Keepers works with the community in celebrating the value and importance of connecting with family and friends, savoring the simple moments and not taking life for granted. Coker explains, “Our amazing network of caregivers bring moments of joy to so many seniors every day of the year – even during the most challenging of times. We thank them for all of their dedication and support. We encourage our community to do their part in reclaiming joy for themselves, their friends, and their loved ones. It’s never too late to take back the joy we may have missed and inspire others to do the same.”

Each Comfort Keepers client receives personalized attention and exceptional service. Their team handles everything from bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation, and light housekeeping so the family can focus on what is most important –spending quality time together. Craig Goss, Sales and Marketing Manager, has worked with Comfort Keepers since 2005. During his 18 years in the healthcare field, he has seen many changes. Goss says, “However, the one thing that hasn’t changed is Comfort Keepers goal to provide compassionate, professional in-home care for our clients. It is our goal to give families a peace of mind knowing that Comfort Keepers is there. I am proud of our caregivers and office staff in all areas we serve including the Pee Dee, Columbia, Sumter, and Charleston.”
This June, Comfort Keepers asks you to help them share joy. A daily dose of joy can truly work wonders. No matter how old you are, finding joy in even the simplest everyday moments is scientifically proven to help improve and maintain overall wellness, including physical and mental health. That’s worth celebrating!


Scooping up a new dream
Tell us about Jaylyn’s Frozen Scoops.
“We have soft serve ice cream, scoop ice cream cones and cups, and milkshakes. I worked at Freckles and Giggles but sadly they had to close. I really enjoyed working there and meeting people from the community. It was a golden opportunity to be able to continue this sort of work by opening my own ice cream shop!”
At just 16 years old, how do you juggle operating your own business and schoolwork?
“I’m a sophomore at Pee Dee Academy. While owning a business is a big responsibility, schoolwork is my first priority. The hours Jaylyn’s is open will not interfere with school. Having the support of family and friends helps to keep me focused. My dad, mom, and uncle help with the business side of things including jaylynsfrozenscoops licensing, taxes, and helping me figure out how to pay everything. I also have several friends, including the ones I made while working at Freckles and Giggles, who help with the everyday stuff like customer service and making orders.”
What do you see in the future for Jaylyn’s Frozen Scoops?

“I hope to add several more items to our menu. My goal is to continue being successful and I look forward to my younger sister helping me one day!”
What is your favorite scoop?
“I love all ice cream but I’d have to say the mint chip is my favorite!”
