RN or LPN (Contract) — Dementia-Skilled, Problem-Solving Nurse (Comox Valley)

1–2 days/week | super flexible scheduling | stable facility seniors and changing community clients

We’re a small, nurse-led team supporting older adults and their families when the system is overloaded and important needs fall through the cracks. Our clients are wonderful humans — often living with dementia, frailty, or complex medical/social needs — and what we do genuinely changes their day-to-day life.
This is for you if you’re the kind of nurse who:
spots what’s “off” quickly (and calmly),
thinks critically, problem-solves, and follows through,
enjoys dementia care and knows how to reduce distress,
takes direction well, then runs with the plan,
documents clearly (charting matters here),
and likes working in a small, respectful team where people actually support each other.
What the work looks like:
planned visits with stable clients (community + facility support)
advocacy + practical problem-solving (the “missing pieces” families can’t manage)
client safety checks, observations, communication, and charting
you do your work, chart, and go live your life — no unpaid admin expectations

Training & culture We value and train toward the Teepa Snow / Positive Approach to Care mindset. We’re warm, professional, and protective of our client relationships. Low drama. High standards. Good hearts.

Fit matters. We’re a small team and we work well together. A 3-month probation helps both of us make sure it’s a great match — because our clients deserve consistency, not revolving doors.

Interested?

RN or LPN + registration status

Our new website is leaning towards the consultant side of Keystone since confusing options weigh heavily on so many families. I want to bring clarity and help plan with families as the need is great and my personal and professional experience meet in this place.
Our local team of Teresa MacNeill and Alysha Crisp bring excellence and joy to our Comox Valley clients. We oversee needs, go on outings, communicate with families and Doctors yet always try to bring joy. They both bring all their skills and big hearts and care so well. 🤍🩷

So many points of view for aging in place and planning forward. Interesting take here and definitely starting early.

“I never imagined that I’d be coming out again at the age of 38, much less doing it for the sake of my home, but I must speak my truth,” writes Jack Balderrama Morley, Dwell’s managing editor. “I’m a solo ager and am ready to admit to myself (and the world) that I am not going to get old in the way that my house expects.” Generally speaking, Jack explains, American homes aren’t designed around the needs of older people. Younger, nuclear families are usually the target customers, while elders are relegated to cloistered developments. Simply put, there’s very little housing catering to people who are getting older and living without kids or a spouse. “I have no clue what kind of home I should be preparing to spend my later years in,” Jack continues. For our Generations issue, he explores how we got here as a society, and provides some ideas on paths forward for all solo agers: “The most exciting idea is that home is not really about a physical structure but the people and nature where you find yourself most supported…Not to channel the over-the-top optimism for existence of Auntie Mame, but there’s a whole new way of life out there waiting for us.” Read his essay now: https://www.dwell.com/article/solo-aging-housing-growing-old-alone-85a742b0

Family Caregivers of BC has loads of resources, counseling and support; including a podcast which I did with them recently.

Did you know we have a podcast?

This is a space to connect, listen and learn with other caregivers

In the most recent Episode 27, “Navigating Care in the Sandwich Generation,” caregiver and retired nurse Valerie Wiens shares her story of caring for her parents and what she learned about balancing advocacy, boundaries and love.

💬 “When I was fully present, I thought that was more of a gift to show my love for them.”
