They provide a range of services with a special focus on seniors in our community. The services they offer cover a large scope including Personal Care, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care, Respite Care, In Home Nursing and Transportation Services.
Owner and Clinical Director Jamesi Sutherland is a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience in Neurology and Neuroscience nursing. She told us a bit about their transitional care service.
Compassionate Heart Home Care is positioned as an affordable solution for seniors throughout Northumberland, who prefer to stay at home where they can have enhanced quality of life without enduring the challenge of interrupted routines and changes in daily habits with a move to a care facility.
Sutherland told us more about their personal care offering.
Part-time, full-time, and around the clock services are designed to support those who want to live independently, but maybe need a bit of support to stay in their home.
If more specialized care is required, you can book the services of a registered practical nurse who can help with post-operative care, medication management, Alzheimer care, Diabetic management and wound care.
A big focus of Sutherland’s business is palliative care for those with a serious or life-threatening ailment which can include the services of both registered practical nurses and personal support workers.
Jamesi shared that getting a new business started is never easy, and she used the services of the Business and Entrepreneurship Centre Northumberland (BECN) to great advantage in refining her business plan.
Sutherland told us that with the shortage of workers in healthcare following the pandemic, they’ve definitely had some challenges.
We asked Jamesi what advice she would give to anyone looking at starting a new venture in Northumberland.
Sutherland shared that most entrepreneurs come to the table with a lot of skills, particularly around the product or service they’re hoping to provide to customers. Often though, you’re going to need help with certain aspects of your business whether it’s accounting, marketing or any of the myriad tasks that face startups. That’s were the services of the BECN really made a difference.
As a resident of Northumberland County, Jamesi is very passionate about increasing accessibility to care for seniors in Northumberland County as evidenced by the blog on their website which provides articles you can read about fall prevention, tips for caring for a loved one and more.
