FAQ
Your questions about this service
Do your services replace medical care?
No. GéroStim-Expertise services complement home care: they do not constitute medical treatment and replace neither medical procedures, nor regulated nursing care, nor routine follow-up by the individual's healthcare professionals. They aim to provide stimulation, encourage independence, promote well-being and maintain social connection.
Emergencies and medical care fall within the remit of qualified professionals and services: in an emergency, call 15 or 112.
What should I do if my relative experiences agitation or disorientation?
In cases of agitation or disorientation, it is often helpful to maintain a calm tone, reassure the person, and reduce surrounding sources of stimulation. GéroStim-Expertise offers enhanced support of at least 3 consecutive hours for these periods, based on adapted communication and a reassuring presence.
If the situation presents an immediate danger or involves a medical issue, please contact the appropriate emergency services: dial 15 or 112.
Do you offer respite for family carers?
Yes. During enhanced support (a minimum of 3 consecutive hours), I stay by your relative's side with a reassuring presence and appropriate activities, allowing you to take some respite. The home-based workshops also offer moments when you can take time for yourself.
The schedule is agreed together, according to your needs.
