Helping to Fill Any Gaps in Care to Ensure Smooth Transitions
Having a great plan and the right information to make informed decisions is very important. However, sometimes there are little things that put a snag in your progress. Family Support is our way of making sure all the barriers to success are overcome.
Our family support consultants are amazing at being proactive and problem solving. They get tasks accomplished, organize projects and scheduling appointments. Even more importantly, they are caring and kind people who love spending time with seniors.

“As an extremely busy professional, I was having a hard time helping out when my elderly mother needed me. Often times I didn’t even know how to help her and tried to refer her to places like the Kerby Centre. The problem is you don’t know what you don’t know and when I met Kathy from Proactive Seniors, it was like my prayers were answered. Kathy and Judy have been an incredible resource and have helped my mother so much. She really enjoys when Judy comes over for her scheduled visits and has been so much happier and better cared for than ever before. I can’t recommend Proactive Seniors enough.”
