Our Services

At Meaningful Connections we offer engaging experiences as well as personal care services through collaboration with other professionals in the community.

Activities

Our activities are thoughtfully designed to engage, stimulate, and bring joy. From nostalgic games to creative arts and music therapy, our activities cater to varying interests and abilities. With a focus on meaningful interaction and sensory experiences, we provide a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can express themselves and connect with others. Whether it's reminiscing over old photos or participating in group exercises, our goal is to promote well-being and enhance quality of life through enjoyable and fulfilling activities.

Hair Care

Hair care services for individuals with dementia require a delicate approach that prioritizes their comfort and dignity. With specialized techniques and gentle communication, our skilled stylists provide personalized care, understanding the unique needs of each client. Our aim is to create a calming and enjoyable experience.

Looking Ahead:

T E S T I M O N I A L S

"My husband Lew has been privileged to join a wonderful group of friends at the Adult Day Centre since November. Each morning he is met at the door with a warm smile & a helping hand from Katharina ,Kathy ,or a caring volunteer. Every day begins with coffee & a chat followed by meaningful activities to improve his quality of life...games, crafts, exercises, and music...always with a good dose of FUN.

It's so nice that groups of daycare children as well as high-school students visit to provide intergenerational activities. And it's wonderful that so much music is included in weekly activities. Of course I can't forget all the special holiday celebrations.

None of these things would be possible without the caring staff and the wonderful dedicated volunteers.

While the program is so beneficial for all those fortunate enough to attend, it is truly a Godsend for caregivers, giving us time for much needed rest, rejuvenation, and...RESPITE!

I feel so blessed to be part of the Caring Connections family."

Shirley; Participant Care Partner

Shirley has been a participant in the Meaningful Connections program since its launch in September, 2023. A loving and caring wife and mother to three (3) daughters and a grandmother to six (6) grandchildren. Family was, and still is, everything to Shirley.

Our family has experienced the early onset of her frontal temporal dementia for several years. Our journey has been a family affair. We were all of like mind in our determination to keep Mom at home as long as we could; keep her safe and manage her care. With the assistance of kind and considerate caregivers, we have managed to do so, however, we wanted more for Shirley.

Our family has continuously searched for services, programs and activities that would benefit Shirley. When we heard of the program being offered at Meaningful Connections, we immediately inquired into it. Since participating in the program, Shirley's behaviour and disposition has greatly improved. She is more settled, more relaxed and more content. She is happier. She smiles more, laughs more and vocalizes more words. This has been a comforting change that makes our hearts happy.

If your loved one has memory and/or cognitive issues and you are looking for a loving, caring, fulfilled and stimulating environment, then Meaningful Connections is definitely the program for them; and as the caregiver, you will be happy you did.
