When I first contacted Arcadia Home Care, it was to find support for my father, so that he could continue to remain in his home. His physical and cognitive health was in decline, and my hope was that by remaining in familiar surroundings his last months could be easier for him. To this point I had been sole caregiver for him, and was experiencing the symptoms of burn out.
After contacting Arcadia, Dad and I were immediately matched with the perfect personal support workers, who treated my dad with great respect and care. My dad himself commented that each caregiver was wonderful at their job. Then the unforeseen happened, and Dad's health took a serious turn for the worse. Within three weeks my father passed away. During those three weeks, Arcadia supported him, as well as me, in countless ways. They shifted their focus from his home to Emergency Rooms and then to his hospital room. Dad was never alone or unattended, and I was given the peace of mind to be able to leave him for a few hours and know that his every need was being met. On the day he died an Arcadia personal support worker was with us and stayed with me after his passing until I assured her I was all right. What a gift to my father and what a gift to me.
My sincere thanks to the entire team at Arcadia,
