Wendy Johnstone - Owner

Wendy Johnstone is a trained Gerontologist with over 15 years experience working with seniors and their caregivers. She graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2001 with a Master's Degree in Gerontology.

Her experience includes working with independent living and frail seniors as well as service and health providers targeting an aging clientele. Wendy focused on promoting quality of life for seniors and, consequently, their caregivers:

• at Toronto's prestigious Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care;
• with innovative New Vista Society and Campus of Care in Burnaby; and
• for stroke survivors and their caregivers throughout the province for the Stroke Recovery Association of BC.

A passionate presenter, Wendy facilitates seminars on various eldercare issues both locally and nationally.

Wendy sits on the Board of Directors for the Caregivers' Association of BC and is an active member of the Canadian Association of Gerontology. Locally, Wendy is a Mentor for the Parents in Partnership program with Comox Valley Family Services.

Shaped by her own personal caregiving experiences with her grandmother and father, Wendy's purpose is to advocate for her clients with the same respect and diligence as they would their own family.

Wendy and her husband, James, moved to the Comox Valley in 2003 to improve their quality of life and raise a family. Currently, they have one daughter, Carly.
