Donna is an exceptional organizer. She has a unique approach. She is compassionate about the emotional side of becoming organized. She comes up with solutions that will work for you. My experience with Donna was wonderful and I would highly recommend you ask her to help you!

I was beginning to feel limited by my physical abilities and wanted stay in my home but I knew I needed some help. I sure wasn’t ready for a long-term care facility, that’s for sure. I needed someone to rely on when I needed them and to manage some projects when they came up. Renaissance Lifestyles visits me once a week. They are so helpful and friendly. They make my lunch, do my laundry, change my bed linens, and pick up medications. They also helped me to purge and organize my three closets full of clothes. I like it when Bailey comes for a few hours. She even has her own water bowl. Thank you Renaissance Lifestyles for providing me with such great support so I can be where I want to be.

I have used Donna’s services in the past! I was completely overwhelmed with all the work ahead of me. My basement had to be taken apart quickly for an unscheduled repair, so things were packed up and moved without any organization. I am also a bit of a ‘control’ person, so it was very hard for me to have someone coming in to ‘organize’. Donna was very patient and offered suggestions without being pushy, demanding or forceful. My basement now looks like a fun, usable space with everything labelled, accessible and easy to find! Thank you for your help getting me started!

Thank you for the fantastic work you recently completed on my mother’s home in Calgary SW. Clearing out a home can be a very daunting task. But having to organize, itemize and dispose of items with strong sentimental value can be impossible. Having to project manage the tear down of the main floor, hiring of tradespeople and completing a renovation, would have been impossible for me living 3500 kms away in Toronto. You made that simple and easy.
