We never know what is waiting around the corner. Over a year ago, I was approached by a lovely gentleman who asked me to sing for his elderly mother, who still lives at home. This opened the door for what I can only say is a calling!
Living at home as long as possible is the best solution for anyone with dementia or Alzheimer’s, but of course, it is not always possible. Thank God there are residences in Montreal that can house those without the means for full-time home help.
I am so glad I said yes and visit her three days a week. Through her, I received a referral to another mother, sister and grandmother with dementia.
I believe that some things cannot be taught but are innate… a sense of connection and reading these special people. People can be reached on a soul level when the other levels have gone to sleep.
After singing for over 31 years to Alzheimers and Dementia patients, I have won the title of “Alzheimer’s Whisperer”.
Don’t hesitate to contact me at ppardo@videoton.ca for a consultation for your parent at their home.
