KapwaCare was founded on the Filipino principle of 'Kapwa' — a shared identity. We believe that caring for others is an extension of caring for oneself.

Starting in Calgary, we set out to build a home care service that treats every client like family.

👵 Do you have a loved one who needs care at home?
Many families don’t realize that in Alberta, there is a program called Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) through Alberta Health Services that allows eligible clients to choose their own home care provider.
That means your family member may be able to receive:
✔ Personalized home care
✔ Services based on assessed needs
✔ Flexible support at home
At Kapwa Care Homecare Solutions, we support families by:
• Guiding you through the approval process
• Coordinating with AHS case managers
• Providing paramedic-led oversight
• Delivering compassionate care at home
✨ Unsure if your loved one qualifies? Let us help.

Thank you Caregivers❤️

Today is National Caregiver Day in Canada, a day to recognize the millions of people who show up every day for someone they love.

In Alberta, more than one million people provide 647 million hours of unpaid care each year. Across Canada, much of the care that happens at home is supported by family members, partners, and friends.

Many caregivers are also part of the healthcare workforce, supporting others through their work and then returning home to care for someone in their own life. For many, caregiving becomes part of everyday life.

To every caregiver in Alberta, paid and unpaid, supporting a parent, partner, child, or friend, you are not alone. Today, and every day, Assisted Living Alberta thanks you.

Dementia activities are structured or simple everyday tasks designed to stimulate the mind, maintain skills, reduce anxiety, and improve quality of life for people living with dementia. The best activities are meaningful, familiar, and adapted to the person’s abilities.

Misunderstood Behaviors in Dementia and Helpful Strategies for Caregivers

Many behaviors in dementia are often misunderstood. Repeating questions, wandering, agitation, or accusing others of stealing are usually not intentional, they are ways the brain is trying to cope with confusion, memory loss, or unmet needs.

As caregivers, responding with patience and understanding can make a huge difference.
💜 Helpful approaches:
Stay calm and answer questions patiently
Use simple words and short sentences
Avoid arguing or correcting harshly
Validate feelings rather than focusing on facts
Use gentle touch and reassuring body language
Reduce noise and distractions when communicating
Redirect attention to calming or familiar activities

Remember: behavior is often a form of communication. Compassion, patience, and empathy help create a safer and more supportive environment for people living with dementia.
