I know my heart will guide me, and I will learn everything along the way. This is my&nbsp;passion&nbsp;and&nbsp;where I find so much joy.&nbsp;\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a&nbsp;background in healthcare, and therapeutic recreation and spending the last&nbsp;two&nbsp;years working as a Lifestyle Ambassador at a&nbsp;retirement&nbsp;home,&nbsp;McNeil&nbsp;realized this is what&nbsp;she loves, and&nbsp;what&nbsp;she\u2019s&nbsp;meant to be on this earth for. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt I needed to make more of an impact on the seniors living in the community, as many lack having enrichment activities in their daily life, or have resources that improve their well-being, and quality of life, so they can age gracefully in place,\u201d she said. \u201cI absolutely love to create meaningful moments, that spark joy and purpose, and by creating Golden Living &#8211; Senior Lifestyle Support I am able to provide my services that support bringing those things, so seniors can start to live the best of their Golden years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said there is a huge need for the type of service she is providing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope my services touch every family, and their loved one with my very personal,&nbsp;and&nbsp;meaningful approach,\u201d McNeil said. \u201cMy approach is much different than most, and quite a new concept to the world as people generally only focus on providing personal care and forget all about the other needs of seniors. Focusing on their quality of life, and well-being is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope to complete the home care circle, and work along side other home health care professionals, to create an experience for seniors living in their homes, by enriching&nbsp;their&nbsp;well-being &amp; quality of life as&nbsp;a&nbsp;whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cI hope my services ease family\u2019s minds, by knowing that their parent, grandparent or loved one is happy, well taken care of, and living the best of their Golden Years.&nbsp;I hope this brings more light&nbsp;and&nbsp;life into the lives of so many seniors lives, living in their homes alone, sad, depressed, and isolated. Especially after the year we have all had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden&nbsp;Living- Senior Lifestyle Support brings a&nbsp;unique experience for both the senior &amp; their loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing that many home care companies forget about, is keeping families involved, and feeling like they matter as well,\u201d said McNeil. \u201cI really am&nbsp;committed to keeping all families &amp; loved ones involved in my services &amp; support. It\u2019s fun for everyone, and it\u2019s just nice to know what happy &amp; fun things your loved one is up to.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy approach is very personable, as I personally know how important it is to have our families involved as we age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business model she has runs off provides packages as well as add-on hourly services, but she\u2019 is open to offering support in other ways when requested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more of what McNeil offers at&nbsp;Golden&nbsp;Living \u2013&nbsp;Senior&nbsp;Lifestyle Support, checkout her socials on&nbsp;Facebook; Instagram or her website at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldenliving.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.goldenliving.ca<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;email&nbsp;her at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:camryn@goldenliving.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">camryn@goldenliving.ca<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">[adrotate banner=&#8221;132&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[adrotate banner=&#8221;132&#8243;] ADVERTORIAL: FALL RIVER:&nbsp;While COVID-19 brought&nbsp;sadness and stress for&nbsp;many&nbsp;business owners, it brought about an opportunity for Camryn McNeil to turn a little dream, into reality.
