Testimonials
“If you are thinking about utilizing TTR services for yourself or a loved one, I highly encourage you to try!! Christy eased my mind the first day I met her. I knew this was going to be a great experience for my Dad. My dad is 85 and had significantly pulled away from social activities, after being such a social butterfly his entire life. He has lived in LTC for over 4 years now and I wanted something more for him, rather than just "watching tv" in his room. Christy hit it off w my Dad right away. We introduced her as a friend of mine which helped with his reluctance of having just anyone come to visit him. Her activity choices are super engaging and have sparked some excitement in him (and others who walk past his joke of the week posted on his door).
It gives me such comfort, knowing that once a week, Dad is interacting, engaged and out of his room outside of meal times. The feedback they provide is also helpful, as my dads short term memory is hit and miss.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!”

“Christy is a kind, enthusiastic and compassionate person who has managed to engage my wife who has dementia. Christy has been able to find the areas which are still functioning such as music, art and hand-eye co-ordination with amazing positive results.
I would highly recommend Truly Therapeutic Recreation.”

“In-home service offers us the comforts of staying in a known and comfortable environment. With one-to-one, you see the same specialist on each visit. They come prepared with an activity plan designed to meet my wife's specific needs, but still flexible enough to adapt to my wife's ever changing moods due to her Lewy Body Dementia. The bonus for me is respite time. For us, the combination of in-home therapeutic recreation and off site programs offers us a balanced approach to dementia care.”
