About Us

Better Together YYC provides companionship, transportation and advocacy for all appointments, events, shopping, mental and emotional support. An experienced team of caregivers offer problem solving support around new and everchanging challenges, and help to ease the confusion of appointments, procedures, and everyday life. Transition support for moves between home and facilities (or facility to facility). Our goal is to enhance the social and emotional wellbeing by ensuring our clients have the support they need to live life fully and independently.

Testimonials

I wanted to send a note about how impressed I was with "our caregiver". My expectations were low based on past experiences with hired caregivers, and now I can never go back because "the companion" was personable, helpful, and knowledgeable.  I could not have gotten through this kerfuffle without her. (Transit sent the wrong vehicle, and "the caregiver" was amazing in helping me straighten it out). She stayed later than anticipated to make sure my sister got home safely, and I couldn't be more grateful. We don't need a companion very frequently (maybe once or twice a year), but I am 100% Team Better Together YYC.   Sister of client

I am very grateful for your personal approach to offering care for our mom.  Daughter of client

Emily and Matt have a great way of making people feel comfortable. Wife of client

Mom sounded so much better than she has in the past. I think there's a level of reassurance now that the companion is in her life :). Daughter of client

Thank you so very much. We are very appreciative of all that you and the companions do 💝Today was very different day for my mom. What a difference a day makes. She was much more settled and at ease. I appreciate the service you provide; it was truly a success!  Daughter of client (out of province)

'Love, laughter, caring touch, music and friendship. These are her basics and she would want me to give you her heartfelt and cheerful thanks. She would also want me to give you a big bouquet of flowers. 🙂🌻 In her life now, I see people walking down the hall hand in hand with her. I hear her laugh and smile and say ‘I love you!’
