Home care enables those who need a little extra help to continue living at home. While caregivers are not typically medically certified, they receive training to support a wide variety of services including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, eating, transportation, running errands, and light housework.

Perhaps their house isn’t quite as well kept as it used to be; maybe they’re having some challenges getting around, or forgetting to take their medications. You might feel the need to check on them more often and spend your visits helping out. Home care allows you to ensure your family member is getting the care they need when you can’t be there.

If you need to arrange care quickly, we suggest calling a care specialist at a location nearest you. Alternatively, you can fill out our online form and we will reach out to you. We will immediately arrange to meet you at home and begin developing a personalized care plan.

Most seniors prefer to stay in their own home as they age, connected to families, friends, and the life they have built. Professional caregivers enable independent living for a longer time, which has also been linked to a higher quality of life for older adults.

Our home care services are offered at an hourly, tax-free rate of $24.10.

Other private-pay services including skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, therapies, etc. can be arranged at varying rates with our Director of Nursing.

For private care services, we issue an invoice bi-weekly.

If you receive government-funded care, you will receive a monthly invoice for your portion. For your convenience, our billing date is aligned with the timing of government pension cheques. You can pay via automatic withdrawal from your account, drop by our office with cash, or call us with visa/debit.

We communicate with designated family members via phone and/or email, as needed and requested. It’s important for us to know who the designated family members are, their role, and how they can be contacted. Ideally, these family members will be present during the initial consultation when we set up a personalized care plan.
