Compassionate Care, Right At Home
Personalized Companion Care With A Focus On Recreation Therapy
At Compassionate Companion Care I provide respite care for family caregivers in their home, assisted living facility, or long-term care home—wherever support is needed. Giving caregivers time to rest and recharge, I ensure your loved one receives compassionate, personalized care in a familiar environment.
As a Recreation Therapist, I use evidence-based leisure activities to enhance person-centered care, promoting emotional well-being, and social engagement. Meaningful activities encourage socialization, creativity, and self-expression, helping to boost confidence and overall wellness. Through a structured and supportive approach, I create opportunities for connection and enjoyment, reducing isolation and improving quality of life.

Testimonials
"My Baba was one of Cynthia's patients when she was living at the Youville in St. Albert. Cynthia's compassionate and kind nature, gentle spirit, and practical wisdom were evident in all she did. My Baba adored Cynthia, as did our entire family. Cynthia had a way of making Baba feel so special and brought joy and light to all of their interactions. It was obvious to all of my family that Cynthia truly loves and cares for all of her patients. We are forever grateful for the exceptional care and kindness she showed our Baba in her final years." - Sherri W
“Mom is in long term care with Alzheimer’s. Cynthia visits her weekly and engages mom in different activities like reminiscing and movement. Mom loves these visits, evident by the smiles in the pictures Cynthia takes for us. Cynthia goes beyond expectations with her kindness and patience. Cynthia is simply wonderful and we are very pleased to have her for mom." - Marie S
"We are so incredibly grateful for the services provided by Cynthia at Compassionate Companion Care. We were looking for some extra care and support with our father who resides in a long-term care facility. Although the staff at the residence do their best, we wanted our father to have some quality one-on-one attention, including conversation, assistance with eating and drinking, and company to combat loneliness. Although family does visit him, we wanted someone we could trust to be in his inner circle of care to be there on days when no one was able to see him.
Our father can be quite difficult, but he immediately took to Cynthia with her gentle demeanor and extensive experience working with the elderly. Not only was our father so happy to have her joyous company, attention, and help - he responded wonderfully as Cynthia introduced interactive fine motor activities and cognitive exercises to help our father in these areas. We immediately knew we could trust Cynthia and felt ourselves relax knowing the help we so desperately were searching for had arrived.
Cynthia has consistently demonstrated the utmost respect and care when working with our father. She is professional, organized, kind, and her communication is efficient and effortless. We are so tremendously pleased with the services provided by Cynthia at Compassionate Companion Care and would highly recommend her to care for anyone’s loved ones." - Sage G
