Enhancing Senior Living
Through applied recreation practices either at home or in participating senior residences.
Our Story
The story of Ladybug Living begins on Cape Breton Island, in the small town of St Peter's, during the mid 90's, with my aunt, Jo Ann MacIntosh. Jo was a 24 hour caregiver for local veterans, often working for much less than minimum wage, dedicating her life to the service of others. It was Jo Ann who taught me to ensure dignity in care above all else, and the importance of caring for the entire person, not just the physical body. The name Ladybug was given to me by her when I was just an infant, and she called me that until her sudden passing in 2016. Ladybug Living and all of our works are dedicated to her memory.
