Meet the Founder: Jamie Sutter
Gentle Touch Assisted Living was created after working in Long Term Care and recognizing that there was abundant need for change, not just another company offering the same average care cashing in on clients and their families.
I, myself, am a privileged front line worker and also work with many clients and families, I am personally involved in overseeing every client Gentle Touch Assisted Living cares for and I am one of the first lines of contact for our families and staff.
In offering private care, we communicate, collaborate, and support, we are your eyes and ears when you cannot be there. Our loyalty has always been with the families we care for, regardless of where care takes place. Gentle Touch has always been committed to transparency and high standards and therefore have always allowed there to be an open line of communication between the families and the personal support worker caring for your loved one.
We are always pushing ourselves – to learn, to develop, to find a better way and we strive to help not only our clients, but our staff grow, encouraging them to stretch and do more than they might have thought possible.
Every single PSW is certified, bonded and insured. Elite private care is offered to every single client that we provide care for. In being able to maintain an incredibly vibrant, reliable and loyal team, our staff is valued and respected from the very beginning and the standard of care will always be elite.
Gentle Touch Assisted Living gives warmth of human connection making the difference between a good day and a great one, we look forward to hearing from you and how we can take your loved ones care to the next level.

Our Principles of Service
Punctuality & Familiarity
Our team members always arrive on-time; ensuring clients receive maximal benefit of their reserved time, allowing us to optimize any planned activities and duties required during the visit. GTAL is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Continuity is very important. We aim to provide the same consistent PSW to work with each individual client; providing stability, reliability and familiar care while building strong companionship based on comfort and trust.
Preserving Dignity
We value the unique life experiences of every client and give each person the respect they deserve. Our team members are skilled to engage with clients living with Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory loss, with meaningful activities that give them a sense of purpose and creating pleasant days.
Nurturing the Spirit
We care for the whole person – mind, body and spirit. GTAL team members care for the physical needs of our clients and are committed to providing opportunities for social interaction, mental exercise and spiritual fulfillment through programs and activities that suit each client’s needs.
Celebrating Individuality
Every client is unique. We recognize that each person has a life story that we want to hear and understand. Through personal regular interaction, we develop an individualized service plan based on the unique characteristics, wellness needs and preferences of each client.
Encouraging Independence
We promote self-reliance in whatever ways are possible and comfortable for our clients. Our team includes PSW’s, RPN’s and RN’s that are licensed, insured, CPR / First Aid Certified, meet a Vulnerable Sector Clearance and specially trained to encourage mobility with safety precautions in place. Our care director is here to support our clients’ choices keeping family and friends updated to any changes to the daily routines.
Enabling Freedom of Choice
Options are a way of life. We provide several types of duties along with the option to plan an outing to places of worship, doctor appointments or just a simple walk in the park – just like they’ve always done. These options would be assessed on an individual basis.
Communication
We encourage family and friends to maintain constant contact with our clients. In addition to our services, we include the option for you to use FREE VIDEO CALLING at each and every visit. Communicating openly and regularly with family members gives your loved one the confidence they need while ensuring we provide you with the best care achievable and exceed your expectations.
