Our Easter themed brunch!

We played some Easter Bingo, and made some Easter chocolate nests

Did you know that every Thursday we host a Brunch session from 10am - 12:30pm?

That includes the food, 2.5 hours of respite and a fun time for participants! All for only $35 / session

To put it into comparison 1 hour of 1:1 in the home is $35 / hour so the programs are a great alternative for someone who just needs a short break

Need more time to run errands or just relax? We have an all day option on Thursdays 10am - 4pm

Or maybe your loved one needs a bit more social interaction in their life. We all need connection, with our small groups everyone gets to know each other very well and a community is made.

we only have 2 spots left!

Our baking group made some Shamerock cookies yesterday for St. Patrick’s

We’re lucky to have Cassie that helps run the program, she whipped out her ukulele and sang some Irish songs while they waited for the cookies to cool ☘️

With lots of new followers over the years I thought I should make a post.

Hi, I’m Erin Koot - Founder and CEO of both Memorable Moments and Memorable Connections.

Born and raised on a farm right outside of Stratford! I currently reside right in town now.

When I am not working I enjoy being very active with my two kids, playing hockey, training for triathlons and finding time for my guilty pleasure - going to the movies.

I am a Recreation Therapist and PSW with a lot of dementia training (listed below)

One of my first jobs was working in food services at a local retirement home. I loved working with seniors from the start and many years later that love is still there. While many shy away from residents with “behaviours” I always jumped right in, trying to get to know them better and figure out what was causing the distress. This is where my love for dementia care came in, I appreciate that it affects everyone differently and enjoy the challenge of trying to modify approaches and environments to improve their quality of life.

On top of growing my family I also started and grew my business. My team now consists of many amazing PSWs and Rec therapists! As well as the creation of a Not for Profit to provide additional options for seniors in our community with dementia.

I wear many hats at the moment - providing 1:1 support with clients, social media, scheduling, HR, marketing, website design and maintenance. As the business continues to grow I am now at the point where I’m ready to share some of these tasks with my growing team so I can focus on the things I love like still having time to see clients personally and more time to check in with families.

My goals for 2026:
- continue to grow both businesses
- a team picture
- providing training opportunities for my employees
- consistent social media posts

Qualifications:
- Recreation Therapy and sport business
- PSW Certificate
- certified dementia care provider
- GPA
- fundamentals of hospice palliative care
- geriatric training program
- nursing rehabilitation and restorative care workshop
- validation communication
- the Montessori way
- the dementia and behaviour training series
- principles of healthy aging
- Alzheimer’s a positive approach
-Parkinson’s education program
- CRADLE course

During the brunch program we made waffles, sausage, a bowl of fruit and toast.

In the afternoon we made Shamrock Shakes and had St Patrick cupcakes

We also had Mike Ryan in to sing, played some crokinole, ring toss and learned the history / played games related to St. Patrick’s

It was a fun day 🍀🍀🍀
