Jill O'Donnell Address Club Members

Forest Hill Rotarians were pleased to hear from dynamic speaker Jill O'Donnell today! Jill is the President of IRIS: Consulting for Seniors Inc., formally Complete Geriatric Care, the first entity of its kind in Canada. It is a client-centered consulting service established in 1981 to meet the total needs of seniors. She is well known in the field of gerontology and as a specialist in aging issues. Jill pioneered the concept of care management in the private sector. Her specific interest is in the treatment and housing of frail elders and those suffering from cognitive impairment. Recognizing a need for a forum for people helping older adults, Jill started The Elder Connection, a networking breakfast in 1994. When moving clients from their homes into other settings was an issue, Jill established Elder Moves in 1996, a complete move management service.
