Canadian calendar by default
Canada Day, Victoria Day, Thanksgiving (October), Remembrance Day, Terry Fox week, Grey Cup, and provincial touchstones without hand-editing US holiday lists.
Built for Canadian LTC and PCH teams
Recreation programming that feels like your building, not a California template.
BetterCare is a Canadian activity library and weekly gentle calendar: large-print resident handouts, room-bound one-to-one cards, and group plans tuned to our seasons, holidays, and provinces. Less ink. Less prep. More time with residents.
Low-ink defaults · Dementia-safe filters · Canadian English · Provincial flavour toggles (Prairie, BC, Ontario, Atlantic)
Why teams switch from generic printable libraries
Activity Connection and Golden Carers are deep libraries. LifeLoop and iN2L excel at digital engagement on screens. BetterCare fills the gap: Canadian civic calendar, printer-friendly handouts, and programming written for recreation therapists and activity aides in long-term care.
Respect the printer budget
Large type, high contrast, and low-ink layouts. Page counts on every handout so you know cost before you print.
Leave-with-resident materials
One-to-one and room-bound cards designed to stay with the person, not only to run a group. Clear steps for busy aides.
What you get every week
One cohesive pack, not five hundred unrelated PDFs to search.
Weekly Canadian pack
Web view plus print-ready PDF: themed to season and upcoming Canadian observances, with indoor options when weather turns.
Full searchable library
Growing archive of quizzes, crafts, sensory ideas, men's groups, spiritual care prompts, and memory care filters.
Planning tools
Calendar export, provincial flavour toggle, dementia-safe mode, and team sharing on Team and Chain plans.

Voices we write for
Warm, practical, RN-credible without clinical jargon. Recreation therapists and activity aides first; administrators second.
Not Hearth & Home Post. BetterCare is the staff DIY activity lane done properly for Canada. HHP is a separate finished nostalgia newspaper for leave-with-residents; BetterCare is your programming library and weekly pack.
