t feels like time has stopped. The day that you knew would come but never wanted to think about is here. What was Grandma’s maiden name? Does Allan have one ‘L’ or two? What was that song he used to sing? There’s so much to do and you feel like you’re racing against the clock. The fog is setting in. When was the last time you ate something? It’s been less than 24 hours, and you can’t believe he’s gone.

Nobody wants to be in this position, but at some point in our lives, most of us will find ourselves at a funeral home preparing for the last opportunity we’ll ever have to celebrate and honour someone we love. Now let’s turn the table. Your time has come. Who will be sitting there in your place? Who will be forced to make all of those decisions on one of the worst days of their lives? Will they know all of the answers? Will they know what your wishes are? Have you had that conversation, the one most of us put off until tomorrow? How much better would you have felt sitting there, if everything had been prepared for you? All that was left for you to decide were the final touches; a few personal tributes that you wanted to add. By prearranging your funeral today, you can do this for your family, so they will never find themselves in that position. All it takes is one meeting to alleviate that burden from your loved ones, and gain the peace of mind of knowing that you’ve made the big decisions and recorded the necessary information. Let us help you prepare for tomorrow. At Tubman’s we will provide you with excellent service and great value. We guarantee it. Absolutely.

t’s a principle that permeates everything we do at Home Instead Senior Care. It guides us as we provide personalized care, build relationships, and enhance the lives of seniors and their families right here in Ottawa. Inhome care services can help people at any point within the aging process, but care needs rarely fit neatly into a pigeonhole. That’s why we tailor our services to your unique situation -- and adjust as your needs evolve. Unlike home health care, our in-home care focuses on providing support to family members who need help with the activities of everyday living. Everything from companionship, shopping and errands, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping and laundry to assistance with bathing and hygiene. Our CAREGivers are specially trained to provide care to those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We believe anyone who needs a little help to stay safe and healthy in their own home can benefit from home care services. People recently discharged from the hospital may require temporary assistance with cooking, laundry and transportation. Family members with a cognitive impairment like dementia may benefit from ongoing help with medication reminders and companionship. In general, if you worry your loved ones cannot safely care for themselves at home anymore, they may benefit from the in-home care we provide. Loved ones with advanced dementia or those
