Kate Coulter and Cheryl Adams were pleased to present GerontoLogis’ services to the employees at Future Electronics during their staff “wellness day”. We believe that our services can reduce stress levels substantially for someone in the “sandwich generation” when faced with the idea of helping a loved one find and choose a new home in a private seniors residence. We were quite impressed with the HR department’s approach to relieving stress for their employees

Dance and music are a beautiful way to connect with our loved ones

When her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2015, Carol Jones, a trained dance therapist and choreographer, saw firsthand how the disease affects the patient and those around them. She found dance was a way for her and her mother to connect.

This is just unacceptable situation for our seniors in Quebec. What we see is that seniors waiting for a CHSLD or even for home care services from the CLSC causes undo stress, a greater loss of autonomy and caregiver burn out. At GerontoLogis, we are only touching the surface of seniors in need. Affording a private residence is a solution for some but it hardly puts a dent in the wiating list. Now that the government is taking over most of the private CHSLD's, one would hope that it will reduce the waiting lists in public but it doesn't seem so.

"Before the pandemic there were a lot of problems, a lot of people waiting, and the pandemic only exacerbated the situation."

Why are we in such a rush? Dutch supermarket Jumbo introduced slow checkout lanes for people who like to chat and to help combat loneliness, especially among the elderly. It was so successful that Jumbo has been expanding the slow checkouts to 200 stores.

Yuri, 75 ans, souffre d’une maladie dégénérative. Il vit maintenant dans une résidence pour personnes âgées. Les acheteurs de sa maison le poursuivent pour vice caché. Bien qu’il n’ait pas besoin d’être représenté en tout temps, Yuri sent qu’il a besoin d’aide. Grâce à la mesure de représentation temporaire, le tribunal autorise la sœur de Yuri, à titre de représentante temporaire, à régler le dossier pour lui. Une fois l’acte accompli, la représentation temporaire prendra fin, limitant ainsi la perte de l’exercice des droits de Yuri. Un beau geste de la part de sa sœur qui lui évite ainsi l’ouverture d’une tutelle.

Human beings have a system within the core of their brain called autoregulation, which regulates core blood flow, blood flow into the periphery, and other important physical tasks. As dementia attacks the brain and causes chemical and physical changes, it also affects the person’s autoregulation system.

Today is World Alzheimers Day. Our thoughts go out to all our clients and their families who are struggling with this disease, trying to create the best quality of life for their loved ones all the while living their own complicated, busy lives. I take my hat off to you. Today, the association called Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), launched their World Alzheimer's Report.

The World Alzheimer Report 2022 is dedicated to the vast topic of post-diagnosis support – an umbrella term encompassing the variety of official and informal services and information aimed at promoting the health, social, and psychological wellbeing of people with dementia and their carers after a diagnosis.

The World Alzheimer Report 2022, for which McGill University was commissioned, is dedicated to the vast topic of post-diagnosis support.

This is a beautiful philosophy. I would love to see this in Montreal.

On Dutch 'care farms' aging folks tend to livestock, harvest vegetables and make their own decisions.
