Why it matters
Therapeutic recreation supports the whole person.
Recreation is not a luxury — it is part of what helps people feel like themselves. Each session is gently designed to support mood, memory, mobility, and meaningful connection.
Engage memory & attention
Conversation, music, reminiscence, games, and adapted cognitive activities keep the mind active in a relaxed, encouraging way.
Encourage gentle movement
Activities are tailored to seated or standing needs so movement always feels safe, achievable, and never intimidating.
Build genuine connection
From in-home visits to virtual group programs, the goal is belonging — confidence, conversation, and shared moments with like-minded peers.

How Janice helps
Two service pathways to support the older adult in your care.
Timeless Treasures is designed to help fill a gap for older adults who have little access to meaningful activities and social group options. Support can happen through intervention-based one-on-one services or through virtual group programs open to the general public, with assessment and care planning used only for intervention work.
One-on-One In-Home Visits
Intervention-based therapeutic recreation and social support delivered in the comfort of home. Assessment and care planning are used when the work is intervention-focused.
View detailsVirtual Group Programs
Friendly online sessions — Bingo with prizes, themed discussions, music, and trivia — for seniors who want connection with like-minded peers and something to look forward to, with no assessment required. Your first program is complimentary.

Common questions
What families ask before getting started.
Who is therapeutic recreation for?
It is ideal for families looking for more social connection, meaningful routine, and
gentle engagement for an older adult in their care. It is especially helpful when
a senior is experiencing isolation, mild cognitive change, or would benefit from
something enjoyable to look forward to each week.
Do you visit homes, or is this only virtual?
Both. Janice offers one-on-one in-home visits across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge,
and surrounding areas, and virtual group programs that seniors can join from home.
One-on-one intervention support may include consultation, assessment, and care
planning, while virtual group programs do not require an assessment.
What does a typical session look like?
Sessions are shaped around the individual — they may include conversation,
music and reminiscence, gentle movement, cognitive games, themed discussions,
or support accessing community recreation when it feels appropriate. Length and
pace are adapted to comfort, energy, interests, and strengths.
Can family members reach out on behalf of a parent?
Absolutely. Many first conversations are with adult children exploring options for
a parent. Janice will walk you through what support might look like and the gentle
next steps from there.
What credentials does Janice hold?
Janice is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and Registered with
Therapeutic Recreation Ontario (R/TRO). She is professionally insured and cleared
with Waterloo Region Vulnerable Sector screening.
How does pricing work?
One-on-one sessions are available in 30, 45, and 60-minute formats, with bundled
rates that lower the per-session price. Intervention-based support will begin
with a free consultation, then an assessment, while virtual group programs are
priced separately, do not require an assessment, and include a complimentary
first program. A full breakdown is on the Services & Pricing page.
