Today, we remember.

On Remembrance Day, we honour the strength, courage, and sacrifice of the seniors, veterans, and families who have helped shape our communities.

Many of the seniors we care for carry memories of service and stories of resilience that hold deep meaning. Their experiences remind us to lead with gratitude, to show compassion, and to value every moment of connection.

We take time to reflect on their contributions and to thank every veteran who served and every family who supported them.

Lest we forget.

Creative care that connects. 💜

“Seniors engaged in social and creative activities show higher levels of happiness and connection, which can reduce loneliness and isolation  – key factors in mental health decline.”
— Alzheimer’s Association

At Aruga Home Care, we see this truth come to life every day. Through visual arts, music, storytelling, and meaningful one-on-one engagement, our clients experience moments of joy, purpose, and connection.

Creative engagement is central to how we support mental and emotional wellness, and how we honour the person in our care.

Care takes time. 💜

We provide a minimum of three-hour visits so there’s space for real connection, engagement, and care. Nothing is rushed, and every visit is an opportunity to build trust and create comfort.

This extra time makes all the difference. It allows caregivers to engage meaningfully, support emotional well-being, and bring calm to daily routines. It’s part of our no-rush philosophy and our promise to deliver compassionate, person-centred care.

We know how important it is to stay connected and feel included in your loved one’s care. Communication builds trust, brings comfort, and helps families feel supported.

That’s why we use the Aruga App to keep families connected. You can check in anytime to see updates about daily care, activities, and progress. You can also message our team directly and know what’s happening in real time.

💜 It’s our way of helping you feel close, even when you can’t be there. So you can take time for yourself and still have peace of mind knowing your loved one is receiving exceptional care.

Caring for an aging parent or loved one is an act of love and one of the most demanding responsibilities a person can take on.

Between work, family, and your own well-being, caregiving can begin to feel like carrying a weight that never gets lighter. Many caregivers experience what’s known as caregiver burden, the stress and emotional strain that build over time. Guilt often follows close behind: If I take time off, am I letting my loved one down?

The truth is, rest is not a luxury. It is part of caring well.

Respite care gives families time to rest while their loved one continues to receive safe, compassionate support at home. At Aruga Home Care, we focus on comfort, connection, and continuity because when caregivers are supported, families thrive.

Caring for a loved one is an act of love — but it can also be exhausting. Aruga’s respite care in Calgary gives family caregivers the chance to rest, recharge, and regroup while seniors continue receiving compassionate, dementia-informed care at home.

Dementia isn’t just about memory loss. It can change how someone sees, hears, moves, or feels the world around them.

A person might forget a name, or they might simply struggle to find the right word. They might pull away, not because they don’t care, but because everything feels overwhelming.

Dementia affects the brain, but it doesn’t erase the person. Their ability to connect and experience joy remains. They just need care that meets them where they are.

At Aruga, we approach dementia care with empathy, expertise, and evidence-based practices that honour the person behind the diagnosis.

We train caregivers to recognize what’s really happening beneath the surface, helping families reconnect, communicate, and find moments of joy together.

💜 Every act of understanding becomes a bridge back to connection.
