Personal Story | Alberta, Canada

​

CPIAP is honoured to share this powerful story with permission from the family of Violet, mother of Alberta CPIAP Director André Cole-Hayskene.

​

This video follows Violet’s experience as she navigates the challenges of a painful pressure injury that developed during her care. Through a coordinated care approach and the use of the SSKIN+ bundle—simple, evidence-based steps focused on prevention and healing—Violet’s condition improved significantly.

​

Her story is a testament to the power of consistent care, compassionate teamwork, and the small actions that lead to meaningful recovery. This video offers hope, insight, and encouragement for patients, families, and caregivers alike.
