It’s the little moments that make life beautiful.

HELLO!
I’m Samantha Fex and I provide companion services for seniors living in and out of care homes in the greater Victoria area and on the Saanich Peninsula, including Brentwood Bay, Broadmead, Cadboro Bay, Cordova Bay, Deep Cove, James Bay, North Saanich, Oak Bay, Royal Oak, Saanich, Saanichton, Sidney and Swartz Bay.
I have worked with seniors for over 10 years. Previously, I was an activity coordinator at a complex care home for seniors with dementia.
What does a companion visit entail? That really depends on what your loved one enjoys and needs! Could be a chat over a cup of tea. A walk by the ocean. Looking through old photo albums. A scenic drive in the countryside. Playing a game of cribbage. A visit to a local cafe. I take the time to get to know my clients and then personalize our visits to what brings them the most joy.
My senior companion visits are ongoing, weekly and two hours in length, at minimum. My hourly rate is $50 plus GST.
I am fully vaccinated and have a clean criminal record check for the vulnerable sector. I always care and continually advocate for my clients as I would for my own family members. Scroll down to read my testimonials.
Please note, I am a companion for seniors, not a caregiver or care aide. As in, I do not provide personal care, such as toileting/bathing/dressing, nor do I perform transfers/lifts.
If you are interested in a companion for your loved one, contact me to book a 30 minute meet & greet. I look forward to chatting with you!

We are incredibly grateful to have Sam supporting our mother, who lives in a memory care home, for almost two years. She comes twice a week and takes our mum out in the community, bringing joy, enrichment, and laughter to her days. From the start, it was clear Sam was exceptional. Trusting someone new can be hard, especially when family like us live far away, but we trusted Sam from day one, and that trust has only grown stronger over time.
Sam clearly cares deeply for our mum and genuinely enjoys their time together. She’s kind, down-to-earth, and always respectful, treating our mum like family. Our mum absolutely lights up the moment she sees Sam, and they share so many laughs. Sam communicates naturally, gently, and with such acceptance that our mum feels heard and understood, even when words are hard to find. Their connection is really one-of-a-kind.
Sam brings positivity and fun to every outing, planning activities around our mum’s favourite things: from trips to the beach, getting ice cream, and mini golfing. She rolls with any challenge, always finding thoughtful and creative ways to make things work. Attentive, observant, and completely reliable, Sam notices our mum’s interests and comes up with new ideas that make their time together special. She is highly capable, organized, and easy to communicate with. The photos and sweet, funny stories Sam shares from their adventures are a weekly highlight and give us real peace of mind knowing our mum is happy, engaged, and thriving.
Sam isn’t just a companion…she’s a gentle advocate who has become like a “third sister” caring for our mum with dignity. Sam is always looking out for mum’s best interests and helps us ensure all her needs are well met. Her warmth, professionalism, and dedication have made a profound difference in our mum’s quality of life and wellbeing. We honestly don’t think we could ever find another Sam. We wholeheartedly recommend her services. Words can’t fully express the difference she has made for our family. She is an absolute gem.

Samantha is a treasure! Our family has found her to be kind, compassionate and keenly attentive to the needs of our loved one. She is reliable, accommodating and communicative – professional in every way. Samantha’s friendly smile and gentle manner have endeared her to our family. I highly recommend her as a senior companion.

Samantha is a thoughtful, kind companion. She has given part of my mother’s independence back through her visits. Samantha sends texts with pictures of the activities she and Mum get up to, and there are always big smiles. Having Samantha has been a huge relief and help – we are all lucky and grateful to have her as an advocate and companion.

Samantha was a wonderful companion to my stepdad prior to his passing. She was professional, kind and always arrived with a smile on her face. They shared lots of laughs over cups of tea and occasionally took a stroll around the neighbourhood together. My stepdad always looked forward to her visits. I would highly recommend Samantha if you are looking for a friendly and caring companion for a loved one.

Samantha has been an incredible companion to our mom. Her compassion, patience and kindness has enriched our mom’s life. Samantha immediately connected with our mom through her stimulating conversations. Our mom looks forward to her weekly visits.

Samantha has been seeing my mom, who has Alzheimer’s, twice a month for over a year and has been amazing! I always know after a visit I will get a text of what they talked about and she’ll let me know if there’s anything she observes that I might need to know about. She is also very friendly and reliable. The best part for me is that she asks my mom questions that bring up memories she hasn’t talked about with me for a long time and then relays what my mom says, which has been really special for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha for your loved one.

I wasn’t sure about using Samantha’s service as I had only heard of her through an acquaintance. Best move, I live and work out of town and it’s very difficult for me to see my dad who has just recently moved into a care home. Samantha has been great, she adjusted her schedule to fit in with our needs, was able to overcome some unforeseen obstacles with the care home using common sense and her own initiative, and is prompt and reliable. She is caring and capable and spends quality time with my dad. Highly recommended from a very satisfied customer.

Samantha has been very helpful for my mom who recently moved into assisted living. She is a good listener, lets my mom guide what she wants to do, and is encouraging and positive. She visited our home a couple times when we needed in-home assistance, and my mom then requested that Samantha be her weekly companion visiting her in assisted living.
~ Marc C.
Samantha is friendly, reliable, and always manages to bring out the best in my mom. It takes a huge load off my mind to know that my mom is in such good hands during the week when I can’t easily be there myself.
