Histoire de la candidature

"I am nominating myself for the Home-Based Care Momentum Awards in the changemakers in Frontline Care category because my work is rooted in direct, hands-on clinical care delivered where it matters most: in clients’ homes and community settings across Calgary and surrounding areas. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and the Founder and sole operator of Soleful Harmony, a mobile foot care service designed for people who face real barriers to accessing clinic-based care—especially individuals living with diabetes, circulation concerns, mobility limitations, arthritis/autoimmune conditions, poor eyesight, and complex health needs. Many of my clients are older adults or medically vulnerable individuals who would otherwise delay care until a small issue becomes an infection, ulcer, or hospitalization risk. My goal is simple and urgent: prevent complications, protect dignity, and improve quality of life—one visit at a time. Frontline impact: safety, outcomes, and dignity in the home. In home-based care, trust and safety are everything. I bring clinical-grade, evidence-based foot care directly to clients in their preferred setting—private homes, hospitals, senior care facilities, and community spaces—while maintaining a standard of infection prevention that reflects my nursing training and commitment to best practice. I perform lower limb assessments, provide education, and deliver skilled foot care services including nail care and debridement of corns/calluses when clinically appropriate. Each appointment is structured, thorough, and client-centred, with a strong focus on comfort, consent, and respectful communication. My clients choose mobile care because it reduces stress, transportation barriers, and physical strain—especially for those with pain, limited mobility, or chronic illness. I consistently hear that what stands out is not only the convenience, but the way I treat the whole person: calm, compassionate, and clinically confident, while explaining findings in clear language and supporting families/caregivers with practical education. Raising the bar: hospital-grade infection control in a mobile model I have invested heavily—financially and professionally—in delivering safe care in non-traditional environments. I follow recognized standards (AHS/CLPNA and professional foot care best practices) and use a Health Canada/AHS-approved autoclave to ensure sterilization and infection control processes meet a high clinical threshold. I maintain sterilization and maintenance logs and use clean/dirty transport systems to protect clients, families, and facilities I enter. This level of rigor is not always expected in mobile services—but I believe it should be. My work helps reduce preventable complications and supports safer aging-in-place for clients who deserve high-quality care without sacrificing dignity or safety. Momentum through leadership, education, and representation Beyond direct care, I contribute to momentum in home-based care through education and community presence. I have served as a guest speaker and panel participant for Black History Month, using my lived experience and professional expertise to support representation, culturally competent care, and meaningful dialogue in healthcare spaces. I bring a perspective grounded in frontline reality: what clients need, what families struggle with, and what systems can do better to support care in the home. Recognition and credibility My work has been recognized through industry/community acknowledgement, including being a Canadian Choice Award winner for Foot Care Services – Calgary (2026). This recognition reflects not only service quality, but the trust I’ve built with clients who often feel overlooked or rushed in traditional settings. Why I’m a fit for Changemakers in Frontline Care Home-based care is built on small moments that add up to life-changing impact—showing up reliably, noticing early warning signs, educating with patience, and delivering skilled care with compassion. That is exactly what I do. I create momentum by: - Improving client comfort, mobility, and confidence through consistent, skilled foot care - Supporting prevention for high-risk clients (especially those with diabetes/circulation concerns) - Bringing hospital-grade infection control and professionalism into the home setting - Treating every client with dignity, warmth, and person-centred respect - Extending my impact through education, speaking, and community leadership I’m proud to represent frontline caregivers who build trust in living rooms, bedrooms, and community spaces—quietly preventing complications and helping people stay safe at home.
