Dear Elmer,

I write this to you to applaud with respect the amazing caregiving you provided to my friend Frank Henderson over 4 years.

I want to thank you for giving to him every encouragement to be his best, for getting him out to see the world around him even as he weakened. I thank you for organizing birthday and special event parties in his suite with wonderful food. And in his final days you never left him. You were there in presence and in voice to help him on his journey to the life of spirit beyond the life on earth.

You are a highly intelligent, tremendously caring person, Elmer. I will always be grateful for the caring, love and respect you have always demonstrated to my friend.

Most sincerely,

Barbara Belch

During the past number of years, my wife and I have played a major role in helping a friend with Parkinson’s Disease with day-to-day living decisions, including medical issues and daily financial decisions. Over the last 4 years of his life, he required 24/7 home care in order for him to remain in his residence at Our Parent’s Home in Edmonton, Alberta. It was during this period that we interacted with Elmer, who was one of our friend’s long-time home care helpers. Elmer worked evenings and nights and was responsible for mobility transfers, handling bathroom tasks, and addressing any chronic or acute medical issues that might arise. We were impressed with the kind and professional care Elmer provided.

Elmer and our friend developed a true friendship. Our friend took delight in the photos and videos taken by Elmer. He attended our friend’s celebration of life and brought many of these to show to attendees. We would unreservedly recommend Elmer for home care issues. He is currently providing home care assistance with another close friend.

Yours Truly,

I am delighted to express my gratitude with 1205 Angels. During my father’s recovery at home after surgery, their exceptional care truly stood out. The caregiver not only provided essential assistance but also formed a genuine and supportive relationship with him. Their unique approach to companionship and care had an immensely positive impact on my father’s well being. Witnessing this level of dedication and compassion reassured us that he was in the best hands. I wholeheartedly recommend 1205 Angels to anyone seeking high quality care for their loved ones.

Regards,

In addition to the required professional qualifications as a Health Care Aide and many years of relevant experience, Elmer has a wonderful ability to assess patient care and companion needs, and to match his services accordingly. He vigorously researches program options and ensures compatibility with his patient’s interests and capacities. He actively seeks family input. Elmer takes my husband, who throughout his life has been a keen runner but now has Alzheimer’s, for runs and walks in the River Valley, accompanies him to various volunteer engagements of interest, and joins him for coffee chat—all to ensure enjoyment and connectivity with daily life and old, familiar routines. Elmer is kind, resourceful, and responsible, committed to providing happy, safe, and engaging experiences for those in his care. My family and I are grateful for Elmer’s help and feel confident about his creative approach to care and companionship.

Best Wishes,

Cecilie Lord
