Benefits to Individuals
Bartimaeus Senior Services provides
a service that offers a direct benefit to individuals
that are experiencing behavioural difficulties related
to mental health related or dementia related symptoms.
Individuals that experience depressive symptoms suffer
more illnesses, and require more assistance with daily
living and physical activities.
Our services address
the behavioural, cognitive, emotional, physical and/or
social difficulties that accompany aging; we work to
support a positive sense of well-being for all of our
clients. Increased participation in cognitive activities
significantly reduces the risk of dementia, slows down
memory loss, and improves mental health.
Bartimaeus Senior Services involves
the individual and the family in care planning; we strive
to maximize the potential and independence of each of
our clients. In addition to managing the health concerns
of our clients, we help them to live realistic and purposeful
lives according to their unique needs. We believe this
means helping people to stay connected in meaningful
relationships.
Benefits to Family Members
Our services reflect the current needs
and demands of the families and individuals that we
serve. Bartimaeus Senior Services specializes in
supporting individuals that are cognitively impaired
due to dementia related symptoms. We are sensitive to
the complex and unique needs of each individual and
respect the ethical issues that arise in the decision
making about care for our clients.
We recognize that families need
a quality balanced alternative to attempting everything
themselves. We offer a level of care and attention to
families and our clients that is not currently offered
in the public system. Our involvement provides the family
the opportunity to meaninfully connect with their parents
or spouse, rather than always thinking about the next
decision that needs to be made.
Our approach leads to
quality relationships that make a difference in the
lives of our clients and their families. We know from
experience that continuity in care management promotes
consistent communication and reduces stress on the family.
Our services are available 24 hours a day,
7 days a week and are on a fee-for-service basis.
