Where Compassion Leads the Way and Harmony Restores Peace.
​
Owner & End-Of-Life Care Specialist - Deborah Poleski
​
I've spent 25 years in the healthcare industry witnessing firsthand the profound need for genuine, compassionate end-of-life care. My journey has been one of heartache and hope, of tears shed and love shared, and it's led me here, to the creation of Memories Respite.
​
I've always been drawn to caregiving, to the art of holding someone's hand and offering comfort in their darkest hours. But it wasn't until I stepped into the world of end-of-life care that I truly found my calling. There, amidst the fragility of life and the rawness of grief, I discovered the power of empathy, the beauty of connection, and the profound impact that a caring presence can have on those in need.
​
In my years as a caregiver I've held the hands of the dying, listened to their stories, and witnessed the incredible resilience of the human spirit. I've laughed with them, cried with them, and shared moments of quiet reflection as we journeyed together through life's final chapters. And through it all, I've learned that true quality care isn't just about medical treatments or physical comfort – it's about honoring the dignity, worth, and humanity of every individual I serve. It's about creating stable, supportive relationships during your most vulnerable times. That's why we are committed to providing the same person for your loved one - from companionship to end-of-life you will never be surprised with a face that you don't recognize. Transitioning is difficult enough with out having to deal with new faces, names and fears of not receiving quality care. We are dedicated to creating the supportive safe space you and your loved one need during such monumental moments.
​
I have also recognized, first-hand, the toll that caregiving can take on the families themselves. I know we all want to be a strong, loving presence in the midst of crisis. But we also must recognize our own limits and allow ourselves to have the support and relief to recharge and rejuvenate. That's why I also offer respite care for the family members as a small way of giving back to those who give so much of themselves every day. This isn't just about providing care or giving a much needed break - it's about creating moments of grace, connection, and empathy in the midst of life's most challenging moments.
​
So, to all of you who have entrusted us with your loved ones, thank you. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey, for opening your hearts and your homes to us, and for reminding me every day of the incredible privilege it is to serve others with my gift.
​
With deepest gratitude,
Debbie
