Leisure Companionship & Respite Support

Leisure companion visits increase activity engagement and support the socialization of clients living at home, LTC or in a community setting.
This service can assist with or supervise tasks and outings. In a home setting, activities or services are designed to meet the safety and daily care needs of an individual and are determined in collaboration with clients and families.
Activities may include, but are not limited too, games, puzzles, going for walks, engaging in hobbies, socializing, shopping, running errands, going to recreation programs, etc.

This service is reimbursable through the Passport funding program for individuals with developmental disabilities. Please let me know if this is your preferred form of payment.

Individualized Recreation Therapy Sessions

Therapy sessions are tailored to each individual through a comprehensive assessment, followed by purposeful goal setting and the implementation of your personalized Recreation Therapy plan. As your RT, I will document activity participation and progress to ensure goals are being met. On a one-to-one basis, we aim to enhance a client’s self-fulfillment, well-being, confidence, joy, and providing opportunities for choice and independence. Noted secondary progress include: fine and gross motor skills, physical fitness, social effectiveness, self-efficacy, memory, community integration, self-awareness, emotional regulation, mood, coordination and more.

This is ideal for individuals who have a particular goal and timeframe in mind. Whether it’s a major life transition, managing mental health, learning a life skill or reconnecting with a previous hobby, a therapeutic session meets you where you’re at. Examples include: a senior recovering from a stroke, a grade 7 youth with ADHD adjusting to new school setting or even an adult with anxiety looking to participate in a social setting.
