Hi, I’m Corie Blais, I am a Registered Nurse (RN) and I am married and live in Red Deer with my husband and two daughters, Harper (12) and Aidyn (10). I have been working as an RN since graduating with my degree from the University of Alberta in 2007. My nursing experience spans Acute Stroke and Neurology, Occupational Health Nursing and currently Rehabilitation Medicine at the Red Deer Hospital. While I love my career as an RN, what I see regularly is a gap between medical care and care that allows aging adults to thrive in their everyday life. 

 

My favorite population to work with is Seniors but has always left me wanting more time in the shift for little extras for them. Finding the time to take them for fresh air, making them a tea or a toast as they like it, organizing their belongings or even just finding time for a quick visit has always been a goal for me during my shifts as a Nurse. This has led to my desire to provide in-home support for whatever their individual needs are. While homecare and physician’s offices can provide the medical support they need, my goal is to assist with all the extras, general errands, help around the house and support to keep them as social and active as they desire to be. 

 

As my own Grandparents aged, their desire to be up in the kitchen cooking elaborate meals dwindled but their cravings for good home cooked food using their own recipes did not. They needed support to not only pick up groceries but also with prep work and clean up. Help was needed for getting to appointments, getting beds changed and laundry done and put away. That support is hard to find outside of family members who are often busy with work and their own schedules, including kids and/or grandkids pulling them in many directions. My goal with this business is to lower the stress of loved ones and Seniors by providing assistance so that their time together can be less task oriented and more focused on doing things they love to do together. 

 

If you could use some support in the home or have a loved one in your life in need please reach out. I would love to arrange an in-home meeting so that we can discuss what support I could provide. Aging isn’t always easy, but I am here to help.
