About our Recreation Therapist, Julie Armstrong

I have been working in the recreation and retirement industry since 2014. I began my recreation therapy journey at Fanshawe College in the Leisure & Recreation Services program where I recognized my passion for working with older individuals in recreation. After graduation, I worked in a Retirement Living Community, running daily programs and exercises. The Executive Director recognized me for my skills and passion for working with residents with memory impairments and created their first-ever Dementia Day Care Program. I wanted to further increase my knowledge, skills, and passion in recreation therapy and gerontology. I went on to attend Dalhousie University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation. While in school I continued to practice recreation therapy in a Retirement Living Community and in mental health facilities with Nova Scotia Health Authority.

After graduation, I moved to Calgary and worked in a Supportive Living & Memory Care unit for residents experiencing cognitive decline & dementia. While there, I recognized the importance of private recreation therapy services, as many older adults with memory deficits benefit from tailored one-to-one recreation programs whether that be at home or in the community. Armstrong Senior Care Services helps our clients maintain their independence, improve their overall health and happiness, and foster positive relationships with their families and care partners.
