What Our Clients Have to Say
It is really hard having a parent with dementia. It can be stressful and Wilma explained things in a way I could understand them. She helped us arrange the house so that my father could do more for himself but be safe at the same time. My father is able to stay in his home where he wants to be and we have peace of mind. Wilma has been back a few times as our father’s dementia has gotten worse and she continues to teach us ways to help him but have him do things for himself too. She has a special way with him.
