Katia Rivas

Executive Director

Katia Rivas - our founder of Golden Age Home Care was presented with an opportunity in 2010 when her future mother-in-law offered her a job as a companion for a lady who had dementia. Katia worked with this lady for over two years and discovered a passion for it. Working in different settings of retirement homes and private home care, she saw the desperate need for love and attention. Katia realized it was more than the activities of daily living seniors needed. Katia’s love for helping seniors is what drove her to start Golden Age Home Care.

 

“I saw the difference I was making in peoples lives which only inspired me. My logic is if I’m only making a difference in six peoples lives then I believe I’m doing my part in this world.”

Our Founder

It's not how much you do for others that matters but how much love you give doing for others who cannot do for themselves.

Prevention

 

Golden Age Home Care is a huge advocate on prevention. If we can prevent falls, injuries, loss of mobility and loss of independence - then why wouldn't we? Golden Age Home Care wants to be able to provide help before it's desperately needed.

Not everyone requires Home Care, but there are some benefits you may not know or thought about.

 

Is home care right for you?

Financial Benefits

 

Golden Age Home Care understands that everyone's financial situation is different. Home Care might be financially better than assisted or facility living options. It's always good to explore every option to make sure you make the best decision for your needs.

Home Sweet Home

 

Your home is your place of peace and comfort. Golden Age Home Care wants to keep it that way with just a little bit of help from our quality caregivers.

Restoring Your Happiness

 

Golden Age Home Care is here to help improve your mental well-being. Our caregivers want to help restore some happiness back into your life by providing companionship and encourage activities that are enjoyable to you.

Testimonials

“You made such a difference for Mom’s last years, not only for the great care you gave her, but also in making sure she felt worthwhile and was happy and had joy every day.”

Marnie Laird

 

"Katia Rivas is an amazing caregiver. She made the last three years of my Mother’s life happy and beautiful. My Mother (in her 90’s) ended up in the hospital and it was decided that she needed to go into continuing care. I wanted companionship for her while she was still in the hospital because I was working and could not be with her full time. One day I arrived and Katia was there, and that day proved to be the beginning of a very special relationship. She forged a very close bond with my Mother, and she continued her five day a week “visits” after Mom was moved, which proved to be even more necessary than in the hospital. She made such a difference in Mom’s last years, not only for the great care she gave, well beyond what was expected, but also in making sure Mom felt worthwhile and was happy and had joy every day. Her life in the residence would have been very different without Katia’s love, care, and championship.

 

Katia came in every day with a huge smile that lit up everyone around. I was continually amazed at her depth of compassion not only for Mom but for the other residents as well. When I learned that she wanted to make care-giving a career, it made me so happy because she has so much to offer people who are very vulnerable. I enthusiastically recommend her and would be more than happy to provide references."

 

"Katia has been a caregiver first for my mother, Hazel, who had dementia. She helped with personal care, food prep,light  housekeeping and companionship.  Katia also helped with my father, Douglas, when he was in the hospital. She helped with personal care, mobility coaching and basically anything I needed her to do.  Katia still takes my father to treatments at the Foothills Hospital bi-weekly and also takes him to do errands.  Katia also helps me with things around my house that I have trouble doing like standing on step ladders, cleaning closets, whatever I need.  Katia has the patience of a saint! She has a happy, soft, professional disposition! Katia is a miracle worker with dementia clients. She is the only one that could calm my mother when she had fits of rage. Katia's service is above and beyond what is asked and our family would be lost without her."
