Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. You and your family deserve a helping hand for the harder times, so you can get the most from the great times.
From respite care to recurring visits, Compassion Network nurses and caregivers offer a way to reduce stress and uplift those with mild to moderate dementia.
Our nursing team will work with you and your family to create an outcome-based approach to alleviate some of the negative effects associated with dementia. We'll ensure your individual needs are met, and strive to create a custom care plan that works great for you.
Driving can become more difficult as we age. The loss of a driver's license has a big impact on one's dignity, freedom, and quality of life. Furthermore, the lack of transportation options tailored towards seniors and those with disabilities is an emerging barrier in our communities.
We recognize these challenges faced by our clients. Although we do not offer transportation services, we do, on a case-by-case basis, assist or accompany our clients with outings to social and recreational activities, medical appointments, and dining out. This a small part of our caregiving and companionship focused services as transportation is not our strong suit. Instead, we do our best to refer our clients to services that are dedicated to assisted transportation. Some examples include:
Edmonton Area - Drive Happiness
Calgary Area - Calgary Seniors' Resource Society
If you are looking for transportation services, we encourage you to check out the above resources.
