Version Francaise suivra!

Luna started a few years ago when family members began reaching out to me in desperate need of respite. They weren’t simply looking for someone to “watch” their parent. They wanted someone who could provide meaningful engagement, stimulation, companionship, and help maintain the abilities their loved one still had.

Every client is different, and so are their needs.
For some families, I provide respite while they navigate the challenges that can come with dementia, including behavioural changes that can make everyday life difficult. For others, the goal is to maintain their loved one’s abilities through activities that are enjoyable, meaningful, and adapted to what they can successfully accomplish.

And sometimes, it’s as simple as sitting down together for a coffee, baking something, having a conversation, or sharing a moment of companionship.

At the end of the day, it’s about more than an activity or a few hours of respite. A genuine bond develops between myself, the client, and their family—and that connection is what makes the experience so meaningful.
Just a few hours can make a difference. ❤️

If you’re wondering whether Luna could be a good fit for your family, reach out. I’d be happy to explain how the service works and answer any questions you may have.

Luna a commencé il y a quelques années, lorsque des membres de ma famille ont commencé à faire appel à moi, ayant désespérément besoin de répit. Ils ne cherchaient pas simplement quelqu’un pour « surveiller » leur parent. Ils souhaitaient une personne capable d’offrir de la présence, de la stimulation, des activités significatives et de contribuer au maintien des capacités que leur proche possède encore.

Chaque client est différent, et les besoins le sont tout autant.

Pour certaines familles, j’offre un service de répit alors qu’elles doivent composer avec les défis liés à la démence, notamment certains changements de comportement qui peuvent rendre le quotidien plus difficile. Pour d’autres, l’objectif est de maintenir les capacités de leur proche à travers des activités agréables, significatives et adaptées à ce qu’il ou elle est capable d’accomplir avec succès.

Et parfois, c’est aussi simple que de s’asseoir ensemble autour d’un café, de cuisiner ou de faire de la pâtisserie, de discuter ou simplement de partager un moment de compagnie.

Au fond, il s’agit de bien plus qu’une activité ou que quelques heures de répit. Une véritable relation se crée entre moi, le client et sa famille — et c’est cette connexion qui rend l’expérience si significative.

Quelques heures peuvent faire une différence. ❤️

Vous vous demandez si Luna pourrait convenir à votre famille? N’hésitez pas à me contacter. Je serai heureuse de vous expliquer le fonctionnement du service et de répondre à toutes vos questions.

Managing Caregiver Stress and Burnout

Dementia caregiving can be rewarding, but the constant physical and emotional demands can gradually lead to stress and burnout.

Common warning signs include:
• Constant exhaustion
• Irritability or losing patience easily
• Anxiety, sadness, resentment, or emotional numbness
• Sleep or appetite changes
• Difficulty concentrating
• Withdrawing from others
• Neglecting your own health
• Feeling that caregiving has taken over your life
Ways to Reduce Stress
• Ask for specific help with meals, errands, appointments, or supervision.
• Take regular breaks and use respite care when available.
• Protect your own sleep, nutrition, exercise, and medical care.
• Stay connected with family, friends, support groups, counselors, or faith communities.
• Let go of the expectation that caregiving must be perfect.
• Set healthy boundaries and recognize your limits.
• Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

If stress becomes persistent or significantly affects your physical or emotional health, seek professional support.
Remember:
Caregiver burnout does not always mean you need to try harder. It may mean you need more support.
The person you care for matters and so do you.

Perfect little sit-down exercise to get the whole body moving. Moves can always be adapted according to your loved ones limitation.

Tip: Don't say "Let's skip to the next one because this one is too hard". Instead, encourage the movement being done/tried even if help is required. For example; " You dont need to extend the arm completely, let me help you. The purpose of this exercise is simply to create some movement at the joint."

Always conclude with encouragement so they are motivated to try again the next day.

🪧 Accompaniement service provided by Luna involves exercise as an activity with client focused objectives. The service is not to rehabilitate or replace the work done by a physiotherapist or other professional providing exercise as treatment.

Best memory? A lady living with an advanced stage of dementia that did not want to do with anyone or anything found an immediate liking to me. Blowing me kisses, holding me and talking to me. Who knew I could bring that side out of someone....

They must call it pet therapy for a reason !
