Elder's Presentation

My parents Jean-Pierre (84) and Monique (81) have been married for 58 years. Papa is sometimes forgetful and occasionally confused, while Maman is his primary support but increasingly tired. They function well together but need someone present to ensure safety, help with meals, and provide respite for Maman. They're a lovely, gracious couple who enjoy simple pleasures—music, good food, and conversation.

House Description

A beautiful stone farmhouse in the heart of Provence, surrounded by lavender fields and olive groves. The house has been lovingly restored with modern comforts while keeping its traditional charm—exposed beams, terracotta floors, and a large country kitchen. The companion's quarters include a private bedroom and bathroom in a separate wing with its own entrance. The garden has fruit trees and a shaded terrace perfect for afternoon tea.

Communication Preferences

Values clear and respectful communication

How they prefer concerns to be shared:

Papa can become disoriented, especially in the evenings. Please stay calm and redirect him gently. Contact me immediately if he tries to leave the house alone or if Maman seems overwhelmed.

Things they prefer to decide on their own:

Please coordinate daily schedules with Maman—she knows best. For anything unexpected, always check with me.
