​QUE DISENT NOS CLIENTS DE GERONTOLOGIS?

"J’avais contacté un certain nombre de résidences qui m’avaient été suggérées, mais je n’avais que refus ou pas de réponse. Votre service m’a sauvé la vie. Mme Carrière m’a été d’un grand secours tout au long du processus. Elle a rencontré mon mari à la maison, a fait une évaluation de nos besoins, de nos attentes, a pris les rendez-vous et m’a accompagné lors des visites. Lors des rencontres avec les responsables des résidences, elle a posé des questions judicieuses auxquelles je n’aurais pas pensé. J’ai toujours été tenue au courant de l’évolution du dossier et son accompagnement professionnel et amical s’est maintenu jusqu’à la signature du bail. Sa patience, sa gentillesse et sa présence ont grandement contribué à enlever la pression émotionnelle de cette recherche. J’étais entre bonnes mains. Je lui dois un très grand merci".
- C. Bodet Mentha

"J’ai contacté GerontoLogis en août 2021 suite à une référence donnée par l’intervenante sociale du CLSC de mon quartier.  J’avais besoin de conseils, suite à un AVC de mon père et de son inhabileté à demeurer dans son domicile, pour connaître les différents types d’hébergement pour les personnes âgées. On m’a mis en contact avec une conseillère merveilleuse qui nous a conseillé judicieusement et a pris le temps de nous écouter et de trouver le meilleur hébergement pour mon père. Elle nous a également soutenues moi et mère moralement dans ce processus qui était tout nouveau pour nous. Sa présence était vraiment rassurante et elle nous a accompagnées dans les différents lieux à visiter et posait les questions pertinentes à la situation de mon père.
Elle est toujours impliquée auprès de notre famille et est devenue pratiquement membre de celle-ci. Grâce à elle nous avons trouvé un hébergement qui répond aux besoins de mon père.  GerontoLogis est une ressource indispensable pour toute famille qui a besoin de conseils avec un parent âgé qui doit malheureusement être placé pour recevoir les soins adéquats. Elle nous a même aidé pour trouver un logement à ma mère qui doit quitter la résidence familiale car celle-ci est devenue trop grande. Merci tellement Dianne!"
​- N.Landerwyn 

" L’équipe de Gérontologis a été d’une aide inestimable dans le choix d’une solution adaptée à notre mère en perte d’autonomie. Dianne nous a rencontré et écouté. Elle a évalué l’état et les besoins de notre mère avant de nous proposer différentes alternatives. Elle nous a patiemment guidé et permis de faire le bon choix. Nous sommes très reconnaissants. "
- Mathieu

"Merci à la représentante de GérontoLogis pour le soutien, la compassion et la transparence dans ce cheminement qu'a été le processus de recherche de résidence adaptée pour les soins de notre père dernièrement.
Tout au long de la démarche, Mme Carrière a été présente pour répondre à nos questions, écouter nos inquiétudes, nous guider dans le bon choix de résidence et cet avec beaucoup de compassion, du début à la fin, incluant visite de suivi à la résidence , communication avec les proches, etc. Je recommande fortement les services de Gérontologis et je tiens à remercier Dianne Carrière particulièrement pour tout ce qu'elle a fait pour la famille".
- D. Clermont

" Bien heureux d'avoir fait affaire avec GerontoLogis afin de trouver l’endroit approprié pour relocaliser ma mère dans l’ouest de l’ile. Suite à mon appel, j’ai été contacté rapidement par Dianne. Lors de notre rencontre initiale, nous avons exprimé nos exigences concernant le nouvel endroit. Dianne bien prit le temps de rencontrer ma mère afin de dévaluer ses besoins, afin de s’assurer que l’endroit choisi soit approprié à sa condition. Ensuite une liste des endroits appropriés nous a été proposée. Puisque le premier choix était parfaitement a adapté aux besoins de ma mère et conformes à nos exigences. Ce fut efficace et rapide. Un suivi a été fait, même après que mère soit déménagée. Je suis donc très satisfait du processus, du résultat ainsi que par les services rendus par Dianne Carrière qui a été active a toutes les étapes du processus, humaines et de bon conseil."

“Merci à GérontoLogis , spécialement à une de ses conseillères pour nous avoir accompagné, ma mère et moi dans le choix d’un centre d’hébergement convenant à cette dernière.

Nous sommes souvent dépourvus face à une telle situation , Gérontologis ajoute donc du baume. Félicitation et longue vie , nous avons besoin de personne telle que vous . Merci ! “
F. Forcier pour C. Paradis 

“Nous étions dans une situation difficile. Mon mari était à l’hôpital de Baie St-Paul et nous devions assez rapidement trouver une résidence pour retourner à Montréal. Gérontologis a pris notre dossier en main, grâce à l’expérience de la conseillère et à sa connaissance du milieu , elle a su évaluer les besoins de mon mari et chercher un CHSLD qui pouvait répondre à ses besoins. Notre manque d’expérience nous rendait craintifs, et elle a su négocier avec la résidence certains points qui ont rendu l’adaptation plus facile. Nous apprécions toujours le suivi dont nous bénéficions. Je me ferais un plaisir de recommander Gérontologis pour la qualité des services et du contact personnel.”
M. Bruneau

"Il y a quelques mois, ton aide m’a été très précieuse alors que je m’interrogeais sur la possibilité de changer de résidence.  Tu as su m’écouter, me conseiller, me donner l’opportunité de visiter d’autres résidences, puis de comparer. Ton professionnalisme et ton grand respect m’ont permis d’en arriver à prendre une décision et à me sentir plus heureuse depuis.   Tu m’as aussi fait connaître Gérontologis et je crois en l’utilité d’un tel organisme.  Merci pour tout Dianne!"
​A. Houde

"Un immense merci pour l'aide précieuse que vous avez approtée à mon frère, à moi et surtout à notre mère pour qui nous devions trouver un nouveau type de logement.

WHAT ARE OUR CLIENTS SAYING ABOUT US?

“When my parents decided to downsize, my siblings and I were ready to jump in and help them find a new home. But we quickly realized that living out of province would make it difficult for us to thoroughly vet all the options. That’s why we feel so fortunate to have found Cheryl of Gerontologis. She knew the ins and outs of all the different seniors residences - the culture, the management, and the amenities. She arranged tours and helped us do video calls so that we could maximize our search. In the end we found a great spot and my parents are happy, comfortable and safe. Thank you Cheryl for making a challenging process as simple and pleasant as can be.”
- Lyne M.

"Just a quick note of thanks to Gerontologis for finding a perfect senior residence for my aunt. She is 89 years old and has always lived independently until a serious fall in January 2021. After months in rehabilitation centers, we realized she could not return to her apartment. This seemed unimaginable. Cheryl Adams helped us find a place within my aunt’s budget and somewhere she would feel at home and well cared for. The residence we chose has exceeded all of our expectations. The staff are unfailingly kind and attentive. Every single time I visit my aunt, she tells me how happy and lucky she is to be there. I am amazed at how smooth this transition has been and we are so very grateful. Cheryl even still visits my aunt and checks in with us to see how she is doing. We are so appreciative and thankful".
- C.Murphy

"Thank you Gerontologis for helping my sister and I find a suitable residence for our mom during this difficult time that we are all in.
Mom was in the hospital for many months and then was transferred to a rehabilitation center to regain her strength. Mom spent quite a while there and with evaluation, it was deemed that she would need assistance and more care upon her discharge. She was not able to return to her home. 
When the time came for her discharge date, my sister and I were in a bind. We did not know where to start looking for a residence that would meet our elderly mom's needs. It was all the more difficult, as we were not able to visit any places on our own during this pandemic.
At this point, I reached out to you just a few days before mom was to be discharged. We took blind faith and we were not disappointed!
You were constantly in touch keeping us informed . With all your hard work, you found us an assisted living residence that was accepting new residents and the one where she is now. She is receiving the assistance and care that she needs. I must say that mom is happy in her new "home"!
We are forever greatfull and appreciate SO much all that you did for us, our families and mom during this stressful time.
WE THANK-YOU AND YOUR TEAM!!!"
- E. Ribovitch 

"I asked Kate Coulter to assist me to find suitable assisted living for my mother age 93 yrs. Kate interviewed my mother and I, and then arranged, very quickly, for us to visit several establishments within West Island.  She was very aware of our needs and made every effort to find a suitable location.  She was extremely helpful and cooperative at all times, and found us a place within two weeks. I highly recommend the use of GerontoLogis' services."
- S. Pollock

"I would like to thank GérontoLogis and specifically Dianne Carrière , for her invaluable support and extensive knowledge of residential resources in our community. My husband has Alzheimer’s and when he needed to be put into care, Dianne was able to find a suitable and family friendly residence for him to move into. This residence not only takes my husband’s specific and growing needs into consideration, but  is also compatible with his culture and race. 
Dianne’s follow up support has also been very helpful. Her easy style of communication with both myself and the residence owner, plus her eagerness to find solutions, have definitely been an asset. Thank you Dianne and GérontoLogis for providing such an important service to a vulnerable population."
- M .Rice

"Gerontologis helped my family move my grandmother into a wonderful residence. They were able to meet with us, listen to our needs, narrow down our search and quickly find the right fit for her. We were accompanied the whole way through the process, and there was continued follow up after the move to make sure all was as it should be in the residence. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is considering a move for a loved one to a private residence."
- C. Pascual 
​
"I cannot recommend Cheryl Adams at Gerontologis highly enough. Cheryl went above and beyond in her understanding of our family’s situation in securing the perfect place for our mom. Cheryl is experienced, kind and resourceful, having obviously built great relationships within the care community and she was able to use her knowledge of the individual care homes available to help us choose the right one at the right time. We are overjoyed at how everything has worked out. When seniors have to leave their homes, it is often a fraught and stressful time for everyone, but Cheryl helped us to navigate all the possibilities and regulations and knew exactly what to recommend. She continues to offer her support and is a wonderful advocate for seniors and their families."
​- A.I.

"To fully understand how special Dianne Carrière is, you need to have some insight to where we are coming from. My mother passed away over a year ago, she left behind her husband (our father) of 69 years. Our dad fighting cancer was now living alone in a house they shared for 66 years. They did everything together. No matter how hard we tried nothing could make him happy. He missed her so much. Memories were everywhere. He stopped eating, lost energy, and fell into a deep depression. He deteriorated so much they stopped his treatments. He then began to fall.  He became confused and entered hospital. After a few weeks prognosis was poor, Covid was in its next wave, they needed the bed. “Yes he was very sick has about two months.” They would discharge him home with CLSC and we would have to move in. They would take him back when he deteriorated. We could not move in. They gave us 5 days. I called Mrs. Carrière at GerontoLogis. She made it happen. She listened to our needs, considered our budget, advised us on how to proceed and found a perfect place. Our father is happy. His disposition has changed, he is eating, smiles and is safe. Most important we are all able to enjoy him rather than worry. For that we are forever grateful."
- Dahl

"At a time in my life when I needed help to find a residence for my mom who was diagnosed with dementia I was referred to Dianne Carrière from Gerontologis. Her kindness and knowledge was God sent. She took time to give me options and was always there to answer any of my questions.  Thanks to Dianne my mom is in a wonderful place. Thank you again for everything."
- K. Smolinski
​
“Gerontologis was very helpful and offered wonderful guidance in finding semi-autonomous living accommodations for mom. They took the time to visit numerous facilities with us and they helped us determine which would be the best fit for mom’s needs at that time. When mom’s needs changed, Gerontologis once again guided us through the many choices of residences that could handle all of her growing needs, offered advice and helped us make an informed decision. During such a stressful time, it was wonderful to know that we weren’t alone.”  
S. Bernier

“You have been a godsend in guiding us during this difficult transition time so please know that my sister and I truly appreciate all your efforts in finding what is best for my mother.”
- C. Savic

"Our sincere thanks and appreciation to you for helping us find a new home for our Dad. Your expertise and knowledge along with your compassion and understanding of what we were looking for was invaluable to us in matching us up with the residence we chose."
- L. Zwicker 

"I wanted to send this note to say what a sanity saver your service has been to us and how incredible Cheryl was.  As you are no doubt reminded on a daily basis, going through this process is a roller coaster of emotions.  Cheryl immediately became a huge support system for us. She really listened to our concerns about the right fit for our mother. Her knowledge of the options available that would best suit our mother was put into immediate action by setting up and accompanying us to viewings. It cut days, if not weeks, off of our search time. Throughout the process, from the first phone call to the most recent follow up text I received from Cheryl, she has been a remarkable person to deal with. Her work day seemed to encompass late nights and early mornings and she made it clear I could reach her at any time. I can’t say enough about her ability to truly lessen the stress levels we were feeling !  The service Cheryl provided was priceless.  I’m happy to say that we are confident in the choice we made on our mother’s behalf and are delighted to see her quality of life has been improved so greatly in a short time. "
- L. Daly

"I cannot tell you how happy I am with my mother’s move. You have simplified a very complicated and frustrating situation. You provide an awesome service and were terrific to work with."
- K.Pearson

“I recently had the opportunity to work with you to find a care home for my 93 year old mother. You were terrific. We found a great place within our budget. You knew your stuff. And you went way beyond what I expected. But having said all that, the best experience I had was driving in your Leaf.”
- R. Caplan

“I want to say thank you for helping my parents find a new home. Thank you for your patience, your efficiency, your understanding and your kindness. I don’t know how we would have done it without you. We think the world of you and are very grateful to you. Hope our paths cross again”.
- A. Slawek

“You took a huge load off my shoulder - suggesting three possible residences from a long list provided by the hospital; explaining their services; setting up appointments and accompanying me on visits. We finally chose one and we felt good about our choice.”
- M. Gibb-Clark
​
“Your expertise was greatly appreciated. Your calm demeanour was noticeable  in the first phone call. You listened to our concerns and developed a wonderful rapport with my 90 year old father-in-law. We were able to find an excellent faciility with your help. You went above and beyond with phone calls and emails; always quickly responding to any questions we had. Your knowledge is extensive. I highly recommend your services to help find the perfect residence. Thank you very much!”
- S. Klar

"I had the wonderful fortune over 2.5 years ago to be introduced to Kate Coulter as a resource for dealing with an aging and ailing mother and stepfather. I live in Vancouver while my mom and stepdad and rest of my family live in Montreal. It has been quite a challenge for me personally trying to manage care and expectations from a distance but Kate has been there every step of the way.  Kate has been an absolute lifesaver. I would have been totally lost without her support, guidance and advice.
Kate has provided me with all kinds of names of agencies and people that have been invaluable in helping my mom and stepdad stay in their own home both in Montreal and in Florida. When staying at home was no longer possible, Kate showed me around several assisted living opportunities in Montreal and helped facilitate the move in to their new home at Sunrise, Beaconsfield. Even after the move to Sunrise was completed, Kate has continued to follow up in persona with my mom and stepdad. There was never any pressure to move into the assisted living situation. It was always “what is best for your mom and stepdad?
Kate has always been there for me and my mom/stepdad, listening to concerns and offering sound and wise advice. Kate is Ms. Can Do. Whatever is needed, Kate has an answer and a solution.
I would rate Kate a 20 on a scale of 1-10.
 Thank you GerontoLogis for being my lifeline. Honestly."
- K. McGarvey

"I want to express our family's heartfelt gratitude to you for your help, flexibility, caring and expertise through such a tough time. I am always singing your praises!"
- L. Chisholm

"Thanks to your company, and particularly Dianne Carriere, my mother recently found a new home after an extended stay in the hospital. 
Without Dianne's expertise and help, I am not sure that Mom would be in her new home today. She was able to locate the hospital staff and have them forward the required medical information to the nurse at our chosen Residence, in order for them to accept her. 
These words are inadequate to express my thanks and appreciation for everything Dianne accomplished on behalf of my family. She was professional, caring and empathetic to the emotional stress that I experienced during this process. It was an absolute pleasure working with Dianne on behalf of our family.
I have already mentioned your company to friends who are now dealing with the failing health of their parents, and I will gladly recommend your services to anyone else who is considering long term care facilities on the West island."
- T. Brennan

"I would like to thank you for providing exceptional service in finding a new residence for my elderly mother.  Your personal commitment was impressive, and we were able to  find a new place within a week of placing a call into Gerontologis.  
I was impressed by the presentation done at your free seminar, and you walk the talk.  You took the time to learn about my mother, her health, her activities, etc as well as taking the time to meet with us,  in order to recommend a couple of places for us to visit which would be a good fit.  Last but not least, you even followed up after the move, and visited us in her new home.  
You became a trusted resource and partner in finding a new residence and would not hesitate to recommend you and your firm anytime."
- H. Lamonde 

"I am writing this review so that others are aware of the incredible service you receive when you use the services  of Gerontologis and specifically, Cheryl Adams. In the many years of caring for my Mom who was afflicted with Alzheimer’s, there were many stages in which we required guidance, suggestions and support.  I can't say enough about how kind, patient and knowledgeable she was.
She always went above and beyond to offer us wonderful options for our Mom and she did so in the most compassionate way.
She is a wealth of information and loves what she does; it shows in the way that she treats you and your family. 
It can be such a hard and trying time; the extra love and attention she puts into helping you and your loved one makes a big difference. You will be privileged to have her guiding you."
- A. Krista

"I just wanted to forward this brief note to you regarding the assistance we received from Mme Carrière. From our initial contact, the services were professional, knowledgeable and personalized.  My cousin and I found that many of our questions were answered regarding the placement of my father. What was exceedingly helpful in navigating through this process was when we could all three compare our notes, observations, and impressions and arrive at basically the same conclusions. In addition, Mme Carrière provided some insights that contributed to our understanding of my father's  needs, and the pros and cons of the various homes we had explored. There is no hesitation in recommending your services and Mme Carrière in particular.  Thank you for your assistance,  kindness and expertise."
