Our Story

About the writer:

My name is Ingrid Gevers. I have worked in healthcare for over 25 years. I have formal training as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (retired). Over the years, I’ve cared for many Geriatric patients in clinical settings, privately and in the community.

 

More recently, my family and I successfully owned and operated a level 3 Adult Foster Home (AFH) for 10 years in Lake Oswego and Oregon City.

 

It’s our ongoing commitment to provide a safe and supervised environment for the seniors we serve.

 

Dignity and respect is at the forefront of how we deliver our services.

Promoting cognitive stimulation in a relaxed social setting can sometimes be beneficial in setting the tone for engaging in activities.

 

At Joyful Respite, you will find staff that are supportive and knowledgeable, in caring for seniors.
