routes.my-route\.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';

export default class MyRoute extends Route {
  setupController(controller) {
    controller.count++
  }
}

templates.application\.hbs

<p>
  Visit My Route, then visit Home, then visit My Route again.
  And repeat. Notice that count is increased.
