Phases Senior Companionship Long Term Care Visits

Friendship and enrichment,
Peace of mind! Who are we? My name is Dorothy,
I am passionate about the wellness of our elderly.

After spending years helping my grandmother and then my dad through the later phases of their life, I discovered my calling as a companion to the elderly. I have studied dementia; certified in gentle persuasive approaches. As an end of life doula I am equipped to be present and hold space for individuals in the last phase of life. I use my real life experience and my learned knowledge to offer a genuine relationship that meets so many needs. What can we do for your Family? Visiting Long Term Care Residents - Offer companionship and enrichment - Give you some peace of mind

Why have a Companion? Our long term care system is overburdened and understaffed. Onsite, these incredible medical professionals do everything they can with the tools they have, but it isn't enough! Loneliness is an epidemic among the elderly and evidence shows that it hinders good physical and mental health. As hard as we try as caregivers, we have busy lives with work and family, we can not be there for our elderly all the time, nor should it be expected. Caregiver fatigue is a real problem. Everyone deserves a friend to keep them company, to look out for their needs and to communicate to caregivers what is going on when they aren't able to be there. What is a Phases Companion? A trusted friend, there to look out for them. Their physical needs are met by the facility, my job is to enrich lives with:

Customized activities
Reading
Music
Dog therapy
Time outside
and more...

First and foremost I want to be a trusted support for your loved one. I want to be there for you too by reporting observations about how they are doing in the home and identify potential needs they might have. Why choose Phases? I provide individual, one to one support exclusively in the long term care setting
I want to get to know your loved one; their people, interests and history. And use those details to engage them in activities. I am passionate about meeting people where they are at and finding ways to enrich lives, no matter what abilities they have or what phase of life they are in.

Big News!!
As an end of life doula and senior companion, quality palliative care is a top priority. I have decided to add to my skills and knowledge and learn to be a PSW. This will help me help you, by giving me a better picture of geriatric needs and the more physical aspects of the later phases of life!
I can't wait to get started and learn to serve you better!
Stay tuned for updates.

Long-term-care can be an exciting place to work, but I suspect this is a first!

A Turkey in Quebec flew through a third floor window in a home in Quebec!
No one, including the bird was harmed and apparently he left the way he came!
Global news has the story if you want to check it out.

You just never know what might happen!
