Elder Intervention: If you are calling Emergency Services and your family member is refusing to go, or have had multiple conversations and are met with continued resistance, we will assess the situation and make sure that all issues are addressed quickly. The individual’s independence is considered, while safety and security is established. We will assist all family members in understanding what is needed to ensure calm while creating the best possible quality of life for their individual.
