Professionals by training. Caregivers by calling.
The Heart Behind GenaCare Family Support
GenaCare Family Support is a home care company founded by Toni, a social worker, and Gary, an educator — two people whose professions are rooted in empathy, adaptability, and respect. Together, they created a model of home care services that is both professional and profoundly human.
We created GenaCare Family Support to provide the kind of home care services we wish had always existed — human, reliable, and built on trust.
Toni: Seeing the Whole Person
Gary: Adapting with Purpose
Gary’s background as an educator adds a unique dimension to home care services. He has years of experience supporting individuals with diverse cognitive, emotional, and physical needs — always adapting quickly and meeting each person with patience and compassion.
For Gary, education and caregiving share the same goal: empowering people to live with autonomy and purpose. Just as he once tailored lessons to different learning styles, he now adapts senior care at home to each client’s rhythm, preferences, and needs.
Educators are trained to communicate with clarity and compassion, even in uncertain moments. These skills translate seamlessly to caregiving, where emotional sensitivity and genuine human connection matter most.
What sets us apart?
GenaCare Family Support was built on the belief that details matter in care services at home:
- We do not wear uniforms, because we believe support should feel familiar, not clinical.
- We prioritize consistency in caregivers, so trust can grow naturally over time.
- We give home caregivers the space and support they need to offer care with presence — not just efficiency.
- We actively involve families, sharing updates and decisions with openness and respect.
- We help clients stay connected to their routines, their community, and their sense of self.
- We are a locally owned and operated team offering home care services in Alberta that adapt to real life.
Everyday care at home, when and how you need it.
Whether it is a helping hand, a listening ear, or a few hours of relief — we are here. From engaging companionship to post-surgery recovery and respite care for family caregivers, GenaCare Family Support offers personalized, flexible home care services to help families breathe a little easier.

Grounded in Presence
We take the time to be truly there with your loved one. No rushing, no distractions, no rotating strangers. Just consistency, calm, and steady support.

Rooted in Relationships
We believe caregiving works best when it is a relationship. That is why we match carefully, and stay connected every step of the way.

Adapted to the Person
We listen first, then build care around the person — their routines, their story, their preferences. What matters to them becomes what matters to us.

Guided by Experience
We bring not only skill but sensitivity. We navigate complex needs, transitions, and emotions with care and confidence.
Testimonials
Posted on vicki kohseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Genacare staff, especially Gary and Toni, are excellent at assessing care needs and developing customized care routines, with lots of time outdoors, in nature, playing games, personal care, pet care, errands, and mentoring the family on dementia care techniques. They're always calm, helpful and sincerely love what they do! As mum says when they arrive "thank God you're here!"Posted on The BandysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using GenaCare to provide a companion for my wife. The companion is a wonderful lady. She takes my wife to various places once a week, while I also have a chance to do things on my own. The principal Toni is always accessible and has been very helpful. I would have no problem in recommending GenaCare to provide respite care servicesPosted on SG Calgary Ltd.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff at GenaCare were simply amazing when it came to pairing my FIL who has dementia with caregivers who were compassionate, fun and great companions for him. They constantly found amazing activities to keep him occupied and engaged. They would happily sit for hours listening to his stories (that by this time made no sense) but gave him an outlet so my MIL could have a much needed break!Posted on Robyn KaserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Toni and her team are amazing carers for your family members. They tailor the care for your loved ones needs. They offer a wide range of services and support and provide genuine care and compassion to your loved ones. Highly recommend Genacare family support. You won’t be disappointed. 🙏🙏🙏💜💜Posted on Trevor AtkinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. GenaCare provided amazing support in accompanying my mother for an out of province knee replacement. Their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, but what sets them apart is their empathy and caring approach. They treated my mother with respect, humour and understanding which resulted in a highly personal experience. I highly recommend them.Posted on M TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Genacare when my 96 year old friend started deteriorating last fall. I was having to be with her daily and found that I was not coping with the mood swings that come with dementia. Toni met with us and started being there most days. Toni quickly learned techniques that worked and became a good companion. I felt relieved to share the burden and so glad I found her. If you’re looking for help for any condition or circumstance, I highly recommend Gary and Toni.Posted on Carol PatmoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My personal involvement with Genacare Family Support was when my husband was diagnosed with dementia . When I realized that I could no longer properly care for my husband , I was fortunate enough to find Gary , he became my husband’s personal care giver, and trusted friend . Gary was amazing on taking him on daily walks, nature walks, picnic lunches, reading to him when he could no longer read himself, whatever was required, Gary did diligently . Because of Gary, my husband lived with his dementia to the fullest , and, it allowed me to continue living , and consequently enjoying my husband , as a couple , as much as possible. I would recommend Gary and Genacare Family Support , 110% , to families searching for the best care for their loved ones .Posted on R&V GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had the great pleasure of having Genacare come into our home and supporting my family. Gary has made a very genuine connection with my husband, who needs care, and it is amazing to see him out and active and sharing Gary's love of nature. Just as importantly, as the primary caregiver for my husband, I am getting the time I need on my own and with friends knowing that my husband is having a great life experience. The peace of mind is so valuable! I wish we had started this relationship much much earlier. My husband has a buddy and the relationship is honest and real ... a very refreshing business model and culture in this field.Posted on Earl JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Are you looking for someone to care for your loved one? Gary will do that and will probably do that better than you can ! He has the patience, the training, the compassion, the empathy and the understanding necessary to make your loved one feel good. I have known Gary for the past seven years while he cared for a senior with dementia. He will walk with them, he will talk with them, he will sing with them, he will take them to medical appointments, he will do what ever is necessary. He will be there for your loved one in times of crisis as well as in time of quiet reflection.
