Why the name Ember? By definition, an ember can "exist within and remain after." Katie and Shari believe that the person living with dementia is just like an ember. They may begin to fade away physically and cognitively, but they are still there inside.

Ember Holistic Care LLC was developed by co-founders and friends Katie Fournier and Shari Flight. After working together in a Memory Care Assisted Living community, Katie and Shari realized they both share the same passion for helping the person living with dementia age in place through a holistic approach. This sparked the idea of assisting individuals living with dementia both in their homes or in an elder care community. They recognized that a majority of families had little to no resources provided to them upon learning of their loved ones dementia diagnosis. They wanted to create a service that made the caregiver a top priority alongside their loved one living with dementia with the hopes of preventing and/or removing caregiver burnout completely. Alas, Ember Holistic Care LLC was born!

Shari and Katie pride themselves on their knowledge and individualized approach to each person they care for. They work closely with the family unit, but also with each family member as an individual, to assure that everyone feels supported in a way that is beneficial to them. By supporting the caregivers, caring for the person with dementia becomes an easier task for everyone.
