This Activity Aide Is Creating a Healthier, Happier and More Vibrant Future

2 April 2025

Speaking with Rosie Posca is like standing in a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.


Full of energy and passion, she talks with happiness and enthusiasm about her work helping residents in long-term care.


“I’m always excited to come to work,” says the friendly woman with sincerity that can be felt. “When the residents’ faces light-up, that’s my reward. Getting them to smile is incredible.”


A part-time Activity Aide at Helen Henderson Care Centre in Amherstview for the past two years, Rosie recently moved into a full-time position at the popular family owned and operated home. “It’s a challenge for me,” she says about the change. “But I love challenges.”


Of the dozens of programs and activities she hosts and supports, her favourites are drumfit, yoga, walking and dancercise. “My passion is movement,” she explains. “I like to motivate people and help them understand they are capable of anything. My goal is to help the residents smile, laugh and engage with other residents. I want to see them happy throughout the day. I want them to know they are loved and cared for.”


 


Speaking on behalf of the home, Activation Director Donna Joudoin notes, “Rosie has been a wonderful addition to the recreation team; she brings different skills which is very positive. Using her physical background, she has implemented new and exciting programs for residents such as yoga, dancercise, and an exercise with numbers program. Rosie focuses on well being and health which helps residents maintain independence. We are grateful for her time and talent, both of which brighten our day.”


Mother of two and grandmother of one, Rosie describes herself as a seasoned wellness coordinator who is deeply committed to fostering positive change and holistic well-being within individuals and communities.


“With a diverse background in health promotion, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching, I specialize in designing and implementing innovative wellness programs tailored to meet the unique needs of diverse populations,” she says. “My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between physical, mental, and emotional health. I thrive on collaborating with teams to create environments that prioritize wellness, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Through my strategic leadership, I have successfully spearheaded initiatives that have significantly improved employee engagement, reduced absenteeism, and enhanced overall organizational culture. Driven by a genuine passion for empowering others, I excel in cultivating meaningful relationships and fostering a supportive environment where individuals can thrive.”


Appearing happy and content in late March 2025, Rosie admits, “I am who I am, and I love it. I think movement is extremely important for a healthy lifestyle and I believe you should be fit your entire life. My motto is movement is everything. It’s a pleasure to use my past skills to create magic here. I call it magic because that’s how I feel when I see the residents come alive.”


Helen Henderson Care Centre is grateful for the good work of Rosie Posca who is our Staff Spotlight for April 2025. To learn more about living or working in our home, please call 613-384-4585.
