“I feel so alone.”
Whether you are caring for an elder in your home or they are being cared for by others, whether your care is full time or you just visit occasionally, whether care is your profession or it was thrust upon you, you can feel alone.
This is a place for you. Support, information, questions answered and a listening ear. Encouragement to look for the small miracles in the midst of the difficult. It’s all here.
You’ve come home.
I’m Ann and I’m glad you’re here. Why? Because my passion is to support those who care for elders. I worked as an Advocate, supporting the professional care partners who looked after our residents, family members and the residents themselves. Now that I’m retired, I have the time to take that support to others. Like you.
I’m also a mom to three amazing adults who have families of their own, grandma to five girls and I’m owned by a dog named Teddy. I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I love Jesus, growing things, making things and cooking. I hate peas, patronising people and snow. Why do I live here? Good question!
