The Tele-Chat Support Group has been a “lifeline ” to me as a caregiver. The weekly chats facilitated by Madison and Medge have connected me to a community of caregivers; all of which have shared similar experiences of love, commitment, frustration, uncertainty endurance, and dedication about someone who has left a memorable impact of our lives but, yet is quickly slipping into the abyss of the devastating diseases of Alzheimer or Dementia. Both Medge and Madison have displayed a level of professionalism that has been supportive and resourceful. The experiences of chatting with Medge, Madison, and the community “on hand”, have left me with strategies and information that ” jolts” the lifeline.
When my partner, Terry was diagnosed with vascular dementia and early onset progressive dementia at the age of 51 my world went into chaos. Frantically looking for answers, direction, what next?…Help!
I was lost, scared, unprepared and very alone. Until, I stumbled upon PSS Circle of Care and Jenny and Julie. I was given resources and tools to help me figure things out. They’ve provided much needed respite care. I’ve attended many wonderful seminars, webinars, events and support sessions making many new friends sharing my journey.
Being a caregiver usually means your needs come last. It also gives you the persistent strength to research and question everything PSS has made this process tolerable. I tell everyone about the great things they do and share what I’ve learned. I want to help and am proud to be an Ambassador of PSS because I know there are more “me’s” out there looking for these same supports and PSS has all the resources. Thank you PSS for welcoming me into your family.
Dearest Diana, THANK YOU, I have no words to express my gratitude. You have been a true angel. The respite hours I got gave me a grandiose break and relief to energize. Best choice sent me wonderful home attendants. And, I am grateful with Winifred, she is an amazing, knowledgeable, caring and sharp coordinator. I am blessed for all you have done for dad and me.
PSS Circle of Care has been a life saver. The care consultant’s professionalism and responsiveness is unmatched. I called and she leaped into action. Out of all of the people I called, Circle of Care was the one which was really there to provide relief for my family, and I no longer have to worry. I tell everyone about the services and how great the organization is. It’s really been a blessing.
PSS has assisted me and my care giving duties in a fashion no other support group has! Via PSS I was provided invaluable information for the care of my mother via NHTD program and how to refer her case, home security camera for my Mother’s place gifted to me for keeping an eye on her and her care, monthly outings with Mother to Piece-of-Cake at Memory Cafe and an insightful rejuvenating outing just for me and other caregivers for a day of Reiki healing and meditation at local library. I enjoy and welcome most of all the genuine caring attitudes of all the staff members with whom I have interacted from the first call I made to PSS!
