At 88 years of age, my widowed mother was still a going concern, but the telltale signs of aging were becoming a little scary. We wanted to bring in some gradual care with someone who would be able to increase the time with our mom as her own abilities decreased. Someone who could get through an senior's “deflections” about her changing health and abilities, with respect and a good sense of humour (humour is key in our family!). Deb provided firm yet good-natured guidance and assistance to my mom, no easy task. Deb provided the "socializing" we needed to keep mom's brain active, as well as helping around the house, doing the shopping, running errands, some light housekeeping as needed. Most important to us as my mom began to decline, Deb was able to monitor her nutritional and health needs; she was our eyes on the ground when we needed them most. Deb is caring, and honest, and we will always be thankful that we had her with us through the last years of mom's life.
