When founder, Wendy Johnstone, was seven months pregnant, her father had a massive stroke. Despite being a gerontologist with health care navigation skills, she wasn’t emotionally or physically prepared for the transition ahead.  The next month was like a roller-coaster. Wendy and her family struggled with the many difficult decisions that had to be made for the future care of her father; the most painful one being taking him off life support.  Through her own personal experience, it became clear that when faced with an eldercare crisis and extreme emotional pressure, family caregivers and seniors don’t know where to turn. Or what to ask. Or how to get through the system.

Aging individuals need family, friends and their community to support them through life transitions. Keystone Eldercare Solutions is leading the way by being the linchpin of a senior’s community and complements and bridges support from family, friends and community. Changes in how health care is delivered in BC are making it more difficult to access residential care as well as a decrease in access to home support caused by stricter eligibility requirements. Family caregivers and seniors are often overwhelmed and stresses with how to get the right type of services, at the right time to meet their needs. Unlike government agencies, which emphasize the needs of the system, Keystone Eldercare Solutions emphasizes the special needs of each client.

Keystone Eldercare Solutions is on a mission – to provide the right type of help, support and resources at the right time to support family caregivers and seniors through eldercare challenges and life transitions.
