FAQs
What can I expect from your in-person programs?
Each afternoon of in-person programming entails two arts-based classes or special performances. Every week a different set of artists join us to facilitate a class. You can expect a variety of activities and topics, including music, sing-a-longs, chair yoga and dance, thoughtful conversations, drawing and painting, poetry, games, and more! As we get to know our community, we adjust and cater our programming to who we know is coming that day. That way everyone gets what they want and what they need, always with accessibility in mind.
In between classes there is a break for snacks and beverages (provided by us).
Do I have to have memory loss to participate?
No. Even though our programs are designed to be inclusive of people living with memory loss, we welcome anyone looking for community and engagement to attend.
It is our goal to create inclusive, non-clinical spaces for everyone, including people living with memory loss. We do not ask for a diagnosis, referrals, or any other criteria to have you join us..
Where are you located?
We are located at 850 O’Connor Drive, in East York/Toronto. The closest intersection is St. Clair and O’Connor.
Do you have a waitlist?
Yes. We are currently operating with a waitlist (as of October 2025). Please reach out to discuss joining the list. We are always happy to discuss whether our program might be a good fit for you or your loved one.

Do I/my loved one have to attend with a support person ?
Not necessarily! We only ask that participants come with a care partner if they require direct personal care (food/bathroom supports), or require other 1:1 support throughout the full program.
What does care “partner” mean?
At The Bitove Method, we operate from a philosophy that includes relational caring. Part of that means we view care as a partnership as opposed to a one-way street. The word "partner" reflects this idea more than "giver" does, hence why we use the word care partner instead of care giver!
Do you offer transporation?
No. However we are happy to connect you with some options for transportation services that our community knows and trusts!
