Cascade Connections - Home Care
“Cascade Connections-Home Care offers compassionate care to those that need it most. The staff is amazing. It was a relief to know that when they were spending time with my step-mother they treated her with respect and kindness. They danced with her, laughed with her and just made her feel special. I highly recommend their services.”
Peardonville House
“Peardonville saved my life quite literally. I walked in fearful of the future and of the unknown, with a long history of addictiom issues as well as mental health issues, and at risk of losing custody of my small child if my addiction was not able to stop.
At first I’m not going to lie, it felt grueling. I wasn’t used to routine and structure. getting up every morning, eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, going to a variety of classes, and following rules. But very soon my mind started to see the benefits over the cons, and the mother in me decided this was my last shot so I needed to surrender and trust the competent and caring staff, which he ones I connected with who were there to help.
It felt like an institution but I had to remind myself, it is an institution, and it was only once in a life I will do this, so I better get it right this time so I never have to do it again like I had the several other times I had been to other rehabilitation centres.
At Peardonville I learned about my own comorbidity through educational classes, I learned about self care, boundary setting, what addiction does to the brain & body, budgeting, problem solving, I sewed a quilt for my son for the first time ever, we got the chance to attend 12 step meetings during the week (which were optional, they do not force this upon you) and a whole list of topics I could literally go on about. We also had parenting classes once a week where we received certifications and our children were put in a fully licensed daycare on site during the day by a hard working staff so that we could focus on ourselves. I had weekly 1-1 counselling sessions that I found helpful and that gave me some practical skills as well as learning to trust and open up to someone. There is a doctor that visits each week and a psychiatrist that can seen if needed. We were allowed our phones after restrictions and on the weekends were allowed out on passes in the community.
The newer management is competent and has extensive knowledge in the addictions field, and I believe is moving forward in wanting to improve the facility as a whole to help women succeed in their lives.
Thank you so much Peardonville, my counsellor, and all the wonderful staff!”
