Happy client
My husband was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer’s dementia. Amie matched him with three support workers who are so well-trained and treat him with respect while allowing him to continue to be a part of the community. As his dementia has progressed, she’s supported us every step of the way and always has time to listen. I can honestly say that Amie has changed our lives for the better. Her energy and commitment to providing consistent care and support to people who desperately need it is simply the best.
