Providing quality care in the comfort of home

In today’s busy society, children with elderly parents feel pulled in several different directions. They often feel stretched to the limit in terms of the responsibilities that they are splitting between careers, family obligations and providing care for their loved ones. CDL Home Caring is able to come to their aid — helping to provide seniors with the quality of life they deserve.

The aging process can be stressful, especially if factors such as isolation or illness start to compromise a person’s quality of life. CDL Home Caring, based in Montreal, is a home-care provider dedicated to helping seniors pursue dignified, independent lifestyles from the comfort of their own homes.

Partially owned by Gino Berretta, president and founder of J.E. Hanger Orthopedic Clinics, CDL Home Caring sets itself apart thanks to its attention to detail. CDL takes the time to fully under- stand and assess the needs of each client and to pair him/her with the appropriate caregiver.

“We have a very strict hiring policy,” said Laurie Villeneuve, head nurse for CDL Home Caring. “Our caregivers are not only technically trained, they are intelligent, friendly people who are interested in building high-quality relationships with their clients.”

CDL Home Caring also offers a shopat-home service featuring the mobility products available in Berretta’s clinics. Rather than having to go through the often time-consuming and inconvenient task of purchasing items such as rehabilitation equipment, canes, walkers and safety bars, caregivers are able to bring the items into the client’s home to demonstrate their use with no obligation to buy. If purchased, the company can then even arrange for professional installation.

Being a locally based company means that CDL Home Caring has a deep understanding of both the medical system and the environment of the city itself. “Each of our caregivers has a thorough knowledge of Montreal and how factors such as the long winters can affect both transportation and morale,” Villeneuve said.

While CLSCs are able to supply a certain level of care to seniors, the sheer number of patients and levels of demand limits the number of hours they are able to devote to each person. CDL Home Caring is an ideal supplement for seniors who are intent upon maintaining their quality of life. All caregivers are nurse-supervised and fully trained and the company offers the services of a qualified PAB, LPN, nurses’ aids and, of course, registered nurses.

Seniors want to continue living independently in their own home, but need help with many day-to-day tasks. CDL Home Caring helps with preparing meals, doing laundry, grocery shopping, running errands, and can accompany seniors to and from their appointments. Caregivers can help with bathing and dressing as well as overseeing medical needs such as monitoring blood pressure and managing medication.

In order to answer the diverse needs to the community, CDL Home Caring hires highly qualified staff from a wide range of diverse cultures and ethnicities. This detail ensures that each client has as much in common, especially language, and as many opportunities to bond with the caregiver as possible.

Seniors’ golden years can be their best years and, with the right help, they can feel secure staying in the comfort of their own home. To contact CDL Home Caring call 514-696-4343 or visit www. cdlhomecaringservices.com
