 “Do not complain about growing old.
It is a privilege denied to many”

Intro

When we need reading glasses we get them. So why is getting a walker or a hearing aid a sign of weakness? It is time to face the truth.

Aging is complicated and older bodies and minds face challenges.  Owning our reality is empowering. The government is focused on providing health care, but self-care, that’s on us. It is on us to put supports in place to avoid falls, to stay socially connected, to eat well, etc.

Our Why

We believe that our loved ones deserve to live their best lives every day under any circumstances.

We have been where you are, and we know that for every question there are several answers.

Think of us as a “Rent a Daughter” with experience in this area. We help families navigate the challenging patchwork of public and private care offerings and services available to Canadian seniors.

In a Nutshell

We created this company to help families like yours navigate the challenges of aging.

We can answer all your questions to help you help your loved ones.

We provide plans for you and your families to get you from “I don’t know where to start” to “Mom and Dad are going to be fine”

"Each day is a small lifetime.  Live a good life today."

We begin by learning everything we can about the whole family support system.  We listen to the person requiring care – we take the time to understand their needs and preferences. We provide the family with a plan that answers what, who, where, when, and how much.
