In a bid to support her grandmother in long-term care, a devoted granddaughter has turned small business owner coming up with a novel way to ensure her “Baba’s” needs are taken care of in her golden years.
“My grandma’s given me everything I’ve ever needed my whole life, so I’m more than happy to do whatever I can to support her in any way I can,” said Joni Cassidy.
Her 95-year-old grandmother and namesake Joan has been in long-term care for three years. Cassidy says she feels lucky that the staff and level of care is excellent, acknowledging that many have not been so fortunate during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the costs have been adding up and living expenses take up a majority of her pension.
