“I chose home care because of my empathy and commitment to making a difference in people’s lives — especially those living with dementia.” 💜

Meet Helen, our Caregiver of the Month — a compassionate Continuing Care Assistant whose kindness defines what personalized, holistic care truly means.
Through her work, Helen helps individuals maintain their dignity and independence, creating meaningful connections with every visit. Her calm, encouraging presence makes clients feel seen, heard, and respected.
“My passion for understanding and encouragement drives me to be a voice for those who may not be able to speak for themselves.”
When Helen isn’t caring for others, she enjoys singing, cooking, and watching movies — bringing the same warmth to her everyday life that she shares with her clients. 🌿
We’re so grateful to have Helen on our team. Her empathy reminds us that the heart of home care isn’t just service — it’s connection. 💛

Q: Does Remember When HealthCare work directly with Veterans Affairs Canada?
✅ Yes. Remember When HealthCare is an approved provider for home healthcare, advanced foot care, and homecare services through Veterans Affairs Canada.

We make the process simple for Veterans and their families by handling direct billing to Veterans Affairs Canada — meaning there’s no out-of-pocket payment or complicated claims process for approved services.

Our nurse-led team also helps families understand what they’re eligible for, from personal care and nursing support to advanced foot-care and respite services.

💛 Because honouring Veterans means caring for the heroes at home — with dignity, clarity, and compassion.

This November, we honour the Veterans and families who have touched our Remember When HealthCare community — men and women who served with courage, compassion, and pride.
✨ Chester Brown, CD
✨ Spurgeon “Spud” Spence
✨ Sgt Yves Gauthier, SSM, QEII GJM, CD2
✨ Harold Smith
✨ PO2 Barry J. Doyle
and the many other veterans and their families we have had the honor of caring for.
Each story is unique — yet united by one truth: their service built the peace we enjoy today.

From land to sea, from music to machinery, from Halifax to the far North — we thank these heroes, their families, and all who served. Lest we forget. 🌺

From Toronto to Halifax, Harold Smith’s Navy journey spanned decades — and a lifetime of love, service, and adventure. 💙

After joining the Navy in 1959, Harold trained in Cornwallis, served on ships including the Margaree and Bonaventure, and rose to Petty Officer 2nd Class. It was during his service in Halifax that he met the love of his life — and they married in 1961.

When Harold retired from the Navy in 1984, he continued his service with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires until age 79 — over 60 years of continuous dedication to Canada.

We thank Harold for his unwavering commitment and celebrate a life of honour, integrity, and devotion. 🇨🇦

🎖 Sgt Yves Gauthier, SSM, QEII GJM, CD2
Canadian Armed Forces | 1972–2008

From Quebec City to Halifax — and around the world — Sgt Yves Gauthier’s military journey was one of music, honour, and connection.

Serving from 1972 to 2008, his postings spanned infantry and music divisions, including the R22eR Regiment, the Canadian Forces School of Music, and the Stadacona Band of Maritime Forces Atlantic.

Yves brought the gift of music to every corner of the globe — performing in China, South Korea, Sweden, Croatia, and beyond. His medals — the Special Service Medal, Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, and Canadian Decoration 2 — reflect a lifetime of service and artistry.

🎵 Thank you, Sgt Gauthier, for reminding us that service can sound like a song of peace.

⚓ Spurgeon “Spud” Spence
Royal Canadian Navy | 1960–1970

Born and raised in the Annapolis Valley, Spurgeon “Spud” Spence followed in the proud footsteps of his father, grandfather, and brother — all of whom served their country.

He joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1960, training at H.M.C.S. Cornwallis and serving aboard the H.M.C.S. Stadacona, Micmac, Lanark, Iroquois, and Provider. After his Navy service, Spurgeon continued to serve others, working at the VG Hospital in Halifax until retirement.

An avid woodcarver and craftsman, Spurgeon’s steady hands and big heart left a lasting mark on everyone he met. He passed peacefully in June 2025 at the age of 83 — a beloved Veteran, husband, and friend.
Thank you, Spud, for your service and your kindness. 💙

🌷 Value of the Month: Respect
Respect is the foundation of every act of care.

At Remember When HealthCare, Respect guides every visit, every voice, and every choice. 💛
We honour the lives, experiences, and individuality of every person we serve — because care without respect isn’t care at all.
