Senior In-Home Care Services

The quality of our service is a reflection of our CAREGivers. They are totally committed, highly qualified, and carefully selected individuals who are all bonded and insured.

Home Care Services for Seniors in Central Toronto

Home Instead Senior Care is a company offering non-medical services designed for individuals who wish to remain at home and may require supportive care for a wide range of activities and needs, including dementia and cognitive impairment. These would include, but are not limited to, home support, medication reminders, and assistance with bathing, feeding, dressing, transfers, personal care, and incontinence.

Our CAREGivers are compassionate women and men who have gone through a careful selection process. We insure and bond every CAREGiver, and we have several on-going training programs to ensure that their skills and knowledge are always the highest possible.

Our goal as a provider is to give to our Seniors a sense of independence, as they stay in their own homes.

To meet this goal, Home Instead Senior Care CAREGivers offer:

Sensitive companionship, including prompts for medications
Meal preparation and cleanup
Homemaking
Shopping and other errands
Accompaniment to stores, church, appointments, or social events
Overnight shifts for safety and reassurance
Respite to relieve family caregivers

Care Consultation

We know that the little things are important. Our relationship begins with a no-obligation meeting in the Senior’s home. This meeting is designed to help you understand our services and costs. It also helps us start to get to know you, in order to make the best CAREGiver match possible.

Home Instead Senior Care makes every effort to maintain continuity of care. Because we understand the importance of the relationship between the client and the CAREGiver, we establish a set schedule using as small a team as possible, depending on your scheduling needs.

Our CAREGivers are experienced at regularly monitoring conditions around the home for safety. Just as important, we maintain a Client Log Book in every client’s home. This ensures that concerned family members are regularly informed of daily care experiences.

Because our services are available around-the-clock, you will be reassured to know that a member of the Management Team is also accessible for emergencies.

Although Home Instead Senior Care does not perform medical tasks, our CAREGivers carefully monitor changes in health and in the particular requirements of our Seniors. Should the need arise for additional, medical care we will work hand-in-hand with you in arranging skilled health care coverage to augment the services we provide.

Health Care Concerns

Everyone shares similar concerns about health care for our parents, grandparents, and loved ones as they age. Perhaps your mother gets confused and can’t keep her doctor’s appointments and medications straight. Or your dad seems depressed and doesn’t enjoy his hobbies anymore. Maybe your grandmother needs regular attention for her Alzheimer’s while you’re at work. While there is no replacement for family, Home Instead Senior Care can give you peace of mind knowing that our CAREGiver can be there when you cannot.

Are you seeing that your loved ones need more home care as they age? Have you thought about a nursing home or assisted living facility, but prefer to keep your loved ones in their home for as long as possible? Do you have concerns about a loved one’s safety or nutrition? Is your worry about your senior loved one starting to have an impact on your own health or create stress?

Home Instead Senior Care can help with compassionate, home care services in your loved one’s home. Whether a few hours a day or 24-hours a day, a Home Instead Senior Care CAREGiver can assist you. All CAREGivers are thoroughly screened, extensively trained, insured and bonded, professional, and reliable. Please note: 4 hour daily minimum due to Health Human Resource requirements at this time.

There are a wide variety of services available, and may include activities and support that are unique to your needs. We also have information on Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
