Kim is easy to work with, very professional and has never let us down. We have recommended her to other members of our family and they have been equally satisfied.
Kim has truly been our life saver and we highly recommend her.
– The Barakett Family in Florida and Vancouver
In the beginning, Mum only needed support for a few hours a week to help with errands or going to doctor’s appointments. So Kim found someone who could drive, liked to talk about food and art, and could take Mum shopping. It was a perfect match. As Mum’s illness progressed, Kim built a carefully chosen team with the skills to meet Mum’s increasingly complicated medical needs and temperaments suited to her particular personality. They were all well trained and experienced professionals, with good observation and communication skills. In addition to helping with daily household tasks and personal care, they managed medications; handled emergencies with calm efficiency; were an extra set of hands and eyes during hospital stays; took notes during doctors visits and kept our family informed every step of the way.
Kim and her team provided my mother with top-notch care for more than a year through some very difficult times and they did it without ever making her feel more a patient than a person. For that, and so much more, we will always be grateful to have found Graceful Living Home Care and I am sure, whatever your need, you will be too.
Kim worked very hard to find the right combination of caregivers for our mother. Our mother was an exceptional woman. She was intelligent, articulate, feisty and did not let anything escape her attention. She needed caregivers who could keep up with her because she disliked being bored. At her advanced age she was dissatisfied with having nothing to do.
Our mother gained her strength with the assistance of the caregivers. She walked with a walker, learned how to maneuver stairs and was no longer housebound. She was able to enjoy the things she loved: going to the opera and plays, giving a discussion group at a senior residence and even going to a mall. Because she was in her own home, she was able to keep her own hours and was not bound by someone else’s rules. This was something for which she was truly grateful. And my sister and I were confident that she would never be alone.
Our mother was cared for with love and respect up until her last moment. Her greatest wish was to stay in her home and because of Kim Forget and her team, she was able to do this with dignity.
We will always be indebted to Kim Forget and Graceful Living Home Care for giving our mother her life back and for making ours so much easier.
As Oma aged, it was our turn to care for her. Eventually this became too difficult for us to cope with on our own. It was most important for us to keep Oma at home, but eventually we were not able to care for her without help. We were so grateful to have found Graceful Living Home Care. Kim was a tremendous help. Oma was cared for with such compassion, kindness and respect. Kim did her utmost to accommodate our needs as a family, and we were able to leave the house knowing that Oma was in the best of hands.
Oma has since passed away, but we can look back over the time when she needed extra care knowing that all was done to make her life as comfortable as possible.
