Through my years of experience it’s been very clear to me that there can and should be a better version of Personal and Supportive Services offered to those in our community.<\/h1>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The past few years especially have driven that home for many including myself and I\u2019m proud to offer that difference.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello, my name is Trish Anderson,<\/strong> founder of Lagom Supportive Services Inc.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a caregiver myself I needed more \u2026so I created a company that offers more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much more than just a person’s basic needs that requires thoughtful consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have worked as a Personal Support Worker in the industry for multiple years, and I truly understand the daily struggles and unique complex family dynamics that people are faced with. <\/p>\n\n\n

Trish has been helping my parents and we couldn’t be happier. She attends twice weekly to help with cleaning, laundry, bathing, dressing and attending to my mother\u2019s personal needs.  She is professional, caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable and keeps us up to date with the content of her visits. But most importantly my mother loves her and looks forward to the visits.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
