About Roger Foley

Roger Foley is a Canadian independent artist whose work is rooted in resilience, purpose, and lived experience.

Today, his life is defined by a severe neurodegenerative disease—Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-14—which has progressively impacted his mobility, coordination, and independence. Yet despite these challenges, he continues to create music with one unwavering belief:

Limitations do not define your future. You can still be limitless.

The Music of Roger Foley

Roger Foley began writing music in high school, developing early demos that captured his distinctive voice and songwriting style. Several of these works were later professionally produced, with plans for release in 2013. However, due to the progression of his health condition and the circumstances surrounding his care, those releases were never realized.

Years later, Roger is finally bringing those songs to life. These releases have only become possible through the support of the Life Care Network, which has helped preserve and develop Roger's creative work as part of a broader mission to help him return home. Although health challenges delayed the release of his music for many years, those songs are finally reaching the world. In this way, the voice and work of Roger Foley’s past are helping to safeguard the life and future of Roger Foley today.

His signature song, Limitless With Limitations, has become more than a title—it has become a philosophy. It reminds us that while our paths may look different, our dreams are still worth pursuing.

Today, Roger and the Life Care Network are releasing not only music, but decades of creative work, with every project helping build a path toward independence.

The Journey

For more than 10 years, Roger has remained in hospital after repeated failures of unsafe and unreliable agency-based home care made it impossible for him to live safely in the community.

He experienced serious safety failures, including medication errors, food contamination, unsafe transfers, inadequate training, being physically injured. inconsistent staffing, and repeated breakdowns in care. Despite years of advocating for safer solutions, he remains hospitalized—not because he wants to be there, but because it is currently the only place where some level of care is consistently available.

During this time, hospital staff raised Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) with Roger on multiple occasions while he was seeking the care and supports needed to continue living. These conversations were audio recorded and are provided below for transparency.

Rather than giving up, Roger chose to keep fighting—for his life, his independence, and his right to return home.

The Solution: Self-Directed Funding Home Care

The solution is Self-Directed Funding (SDF)—a model that allows people with disabilities to choose, hire, and manage their own caregivers instead of relying solely on rotating agency staff.

This approach is already used in many countries around the world because it provides greater consistency, accountability, safety, and independence.

For Roger, Self-Directed Funding is more than public policy. It represents the opportunity to leave the hospital, return home, and live safely with dignity.

The Mission

Through the Life Care Network, Roger is transforming his music into a mission.

Every song streamed, every piece of Limitless With Limitations merchandise purchased, and every donation helps support the Bring Roger Home Project—raising funds for the self-directed home care needed to help Roger finally leave the hospital after more than a decade.

This project is about more than one person. It is about helping build a future where people with disabilities have greater choice, greater independence, and the opportunity to live safely in their own communities.
