I rarely write reviews but I had to take a moment to share my experience so far with Salt Spring Embrace. The entire team has been an absolute joy to work with in the care for our mom. All the caregivers are extremely communicative, professional, and are excellent problem-solvers. They are proactive, compassionate, and intuitive in our moms care, anticipating her needs, and are genuinely kind-hearted people. They are real, down-to-earth people who treat those they care for like their own family. I have not met many people who really go above and beyond the way the team at Salt Spring Embrace does. Having them care for our mom is something she looks forward to each day, and is a true blessing in our life. 5 stars!

Our family stumbled upon Salt Spring Embrace via a random google search in June of 2022.  Impressed by their website and the creative ways in which to utilize their many services, what also struck us were the delightfully warm names of their programs…Hug, Embrace, Full Embrace.  These seemed to be people who cared.  That turned out to be an understatement.

The particular needs of our mother, who suffers from dementia, centre around nutrition.  Unable to feed herself in elder care, and with her care home staff being stretched so very thin, we decided to employ Salt Spring Embrace to feed Mom one meal a day.  This was not a reflection on her elder care home as they are most loving and attentive.  We just wanted to give Mom something extra…a scheduled visitor each day.  Brandy and her skilled team have not only assisted Mom in building her health through good nutrition, but have engaged her mind through stimulating conversation.  They are kind and interested in making a difference in the lives of elders during this chapter of their lives.  One SSE staff said to me, “This is the best job I’ve ever had!”  He genuinely enjoys his time spent with our Mom.  

We cannot praise and thank Salt Spring Embrace enough.  We sought their assistance to help Mom with nutrition.  She has ended up with new friends who want to hear her stories as they share time together over a meal.  And this has been the greatest gift of all.  One sibling put it best:  “I definitely think that Mom’s mealtime assistance is as much about interaction as it is about food. People are food too.”

I have known Brandy in a variety of professional and personal capacities over nearly two decades. They are trustworthy, compassionate and caring individuals who will respond to the needs of seniors in a supportive, responsible and accountable fashion.

The care that my mother received from Salt Spring Embrace was compassionate, loving and respectful.  The specialist was hard-working when cooking delicious light meals, showering Mom, and doing laundry.  She was very efficient and friendly.  I would recommend Embrace in a heartbeat.

The Embrace team have worked for us for several months now.  They have provided a customized service, fully adapted to our needs.  They arrive on time, have a positive and respectful attitude, and get the job done according to agreed on details.  They have a premium service, at a premium price, and are worth every penny.

We so appreciated Brandy and the team (Mary-Ellen and Darlene) at Salt Spring Embrace. We visited for a family holiday to celebrate my parents 65th wedding anniversary and Brandy was able to provide caregivers for my Father so that my Mum could have respite and his care could continue from home to Salt Spring seamlessly. Most of all so they could enjoy a break and the island with us.  The team was compassionate, professional, quick to respond, knew just what to do to make my Dad comfortable and gave us all peace of mind as well as excellent care.Would highly recommend and plan to engage salt Spring embrace again the next time we visit the island! Thank you Brandy!! I can thoroughly recommend Salt Spring Embrace for the care of your loved ones. Brandy and her team created a loving, dedicated, caring support to my mother in the months that she was frail and needing help with all her activities of daily living. Brandy took time to get to know my mother and then went to great lengths to find Caregivers who were a good match. This led to a cohesive care plan that flowed well from caregiver to caregiver and my mother quickly became fast friends with her team. Communication with the team was excellent and staff always arrived on time. I could give feedback to Brandy regarding any revisions in our needs and these were always met promptly. A truly professional operation - good Management, great staff. And a living wage for all.-Anonymous Add customer reviews and testimonials to showcase your store’s happy customers.

I have been working with Salt Spring Embrace for 1.5 years to help with the care of my husband.  It has changed my life as a caregiver/spouse to have the support of people who really care, are willing to help in any way and are completely reliable.  While my husband gets excellent care and attention, I also get the support I need to keep our life together and operating smoothly..  They are professional, communicative, flexible, honest and really care about doing a good job. Brandy has done an excellent job building a stellar team and the service is top notch.  If you are a caregiver, consider giving yourself a break with the additional stresses of the position and employing the services of this company.  You will not be disappointed!Add customer reviews and testimonials to showcase your store’s happy customers.

I highly recommend services provided by Salt Spring Embrace. We have worked with Brandy Borley and her team for over a year.

My mum was resident in an independent living seniors complex. As her ability to manage daily living tasks became more challenging we engaged services with SSE ie helping with grocery shopping, additional housekeeping. This started with a few hours on two days per week and within a few months increased to ‘full embrace’ service. Daily service providing support with all tasks as mum required. ie. booking & attending appointments, shopping, medication administration, house keeping.  The care giving was exceptional and very considerate of my mum’s personal and mental well being. I appreciated regular communication with the team of care givers using a journal to record daily observations and any alerts or concerns followed up with emails. (My sister and I don’t live on SSI).

I would say this is an outstanding service available to seniors requiring assistance to remain independent in their homes. I found all services were provided by professional, compassionate, reliable personnel.
