" Lorien did an excellent intake visit and interview with our Mom to determine her interests and abilities. The firm’s practice of maintaining a binder/record is much appreciated. Staff with whom we have interacted have demonstrated strong knowledge of the health issues involved, patience and compassion.  They have been very flexible and  responsive. "

Who We Are

Active Caregiving was founded by gerontology professionals Lorien Bellamy and Paige Maclean, who shared a vision for a more meaningful approach to home care, one that values the quality of time spent with clients just as much as meeting their direct care needs. With deep expertise in aging and a commitment to person-centred care, they saw an opportunity to make a difference by fostering genuine relationships rooted in compassion, dignity, and presence. Today, Active Caregiving is proudly owned and operated by Lorien Bellamy, who leads a passionate team of reliable Personal Support Workers and dedicated administrative staff. We specialize in supporting individuals living with dementia and other chronic or acute conditions, always tailoring our care to the unique needs of each client. Based in Waterloo Region, we serve Wellington County and surrounding communities with pride and purpose.

A team of the best caregivers

All our staff meet high standards of education and certifications and are fully capable of helping any of our clients. We match staff with clients based on personalities and personal preferences for lasting relationships. We value and honour our team for all the hard work, dedication and skill they provide. This helps build the long-term relationships that can make home care so successful.

Our caregivers, at minimum, will have the following

  • PSW, or DSW (or equivalent) Certificate
  • First Aid 
  • Workers Compensation
  • Liability Insured 
  • On the job and in person training 
  • Lifts and Transfer Training 
10b

Working with a caregiver should be easy, provide comfort, and bring joy to your loved one’s life, while going beyond basic needs.
