I cannot thank the staff at Independance matters enough. They helped to ease my mothers very reluctant journey into dementia and frailty through independent, assisted and finally residential care. They did it with grace, compassion and humour. Eventually Mom would look forward to her visits from Independance Matters whether for personal care or companionship.Just as importantly , I felt supported when I was at my most overwhelmed. We had a long term relationship, and they earned my trust and respect.

Our family has the privilege of working with Independence Matters to provide in-home care for our elderly mother. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the outstanding service they provide. From medication reminders, to light housekeeping and personal care; Cindy, the Client Care Coordinator, and her entire team consistently demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of our mom. The caregivers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly empathetic. Independence Matters gives us peace of mind, knowing that our mother is receiving the attention and assistance she requires. Communication has been seamless throughout our engagement with Independence Matters. The team is responsive, transparent, and always willing to address any concerns or questions promptly. This level of openness and accessibility has fostered a strong sense of trust. Overall, I highly recommend Independence Matters to anyone seeking additional care for their elderly loved ones. The dedication and expertise of their team have made a significantly positive impact on our mom’s life, and her desire to continue to live independently. Thank you all for your unwavering commitment to excellence in elder care.

We have been supported by Independence Matters since Nov 2016 for my Mother. She has progressing dementia. They supported her stay in Independent Living and now her move into Residential Care. They have really helped with this difficult period. There staff has been supportive and provides written logs. Their office always returns calls and emails and has helped with sudden support changes required. (Aftercare for bowel cancer and cataract surgery). Their billing has been timely and correct. The pricing is reasonable. Mostly, we can tell they like and care for her.
