“I have a passion to work with older adults and firmly believe in offering choices and advocating independence and respect,” says Joan, who has a Recreation Therapy diploma from Norquest College and Working with Dementia Clients Multidiscipline Certificate from Fleming College.
Joan has also also worked at Good Samaritan Society as a recreation therapy aide and served in activation and restorative care at Haliburton Highlands Health Services.
