Elder Care in Calgary, Alberta

I moved to Calgary a year ago from Barrie Ontario and love it so far! I spent the last year working in home care here and the last five years before working in a long term care facility. I love working with people. My goal each day is to better their lives with happiness and to care for them in the best possible way. Shannon Sousa 143 Fonda Way SE Calgary, Alberta Phone: 403...
