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.

Common questions
What families ask before getting started.
Who is therapeutic recreation for?
It is ideal for older adults who want more social connection, meaningful routine, or
gentle stimulation through tailored activities. It is especially helpful for seniors
experiencing isolation, mild cognitive change, or simply wanting 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, plus virtual group programs that seniors can join from home.
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 a community outing. Length and pace are adapted to comfort and energy.
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?
Sessions are available in 30, 45, and 60-minute formats, with bundled rates that
lower the per-session price. A full breakdown is on the
Services & Pricing page.
