All About Seniors receives my highest recommendation - from its Owner/Executive Director, Lynn, through its nursing and homecare staff, to its administration. I have retained this team on 3 occasions -- to help support me and my elderly mother after springing her from hospital post- COVID, then again to provide support during my mother's last palliative weeks living with me; and then to assist me (a younger senior) after a radical hysterectomy. Upon my recommendation, my mother-in-law engaged All About Seniors to support her daughter (younger senior) after she had surgery - and she also raves about the help and peace-of-mind she received from Lynne and her team.
My decision to release my mother from hospital was highly emotional and very scary. While I was determined to bring mom home, I was completely unknowledgeable as to what to do. Mom's isolation and physical inactivity after breaking a hip and then contracting COVID had accentuated her vascular dementia and Alzheimer's to where she was acting like a wild animal - she couldn't walk, she couldn't talk, she was eating with her hands, she couldn't control her bowels, she didn't know who I was, she was scared, she was angry and she had become very combative.
I called All About Seniors one evening in a desperate panic after being given permission to bring mom home in a few days and learning that AHS could not help me with homecare for several weeks. Lynne responded within the hour, we then met with her Director of Nursing and they put a nursing and homecare plan in place. That plan and the supportive nature of Lynn and her staff provided me with sufficient confidence to bring my mother home to live with us. When mom was brought in the house, carried on a blanket, All About Seniors staff were standing beside me and immediately went to work to make my mother feel loved and cared for. No exaggeration - within 3 weeks, my mother was talking, eating on her own, back to wearing make-up and able to walk across our main floor with her walker. My mother was given back to me and to her extended family for several months. I give All About Seniors full credit for that.
After we didn't need the agency for homecare, I continued to retain them for companionship with mom. After my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, her dementia grew much worse and she flipped day from night. She was hallucinating a lot and screaming out as she couldn't communicate her pain. The agency provided the most wonderful caring and trained women to stay with her overnight so my partner and I could sleep.
My experience with All About Seniors spans at least six months so far. Throughout, my expectations have been continuously surpassed. I will engage them again in the new year as my own health challenges continue. In my opinion, they are the most wonderful, caring, trained people who will always do their very best. I trust them. read more
