Trained CAREGivers
Extraordinary Care

Caring for the Growing Needs of Our Community.

Services

Home Instead Senior Care is a community-based service organization.  Founded in 1996, we provide an important health care resource to help lighten the responsibility of family or professional caregivers by supporting the Elderly wherever they call home.

Home for our clients can be defined in many ways, whether that is a traditional Home, Condo or Apartment, or a specific facility such as a Retirement Home or Assisted Living communities, Nursing Home or Long-Term Care facilities or even a community Hospital or Rehab Centre

Every senior’s circumstance is unique, and so is our approach to service.  Our services are tailored to our individual client’s needs and can be provided on either a temporary or on-going basis.

Determining Your Needs

Is it time to consider a CAREGiver for yourself or a family member? The following questions can help determine if you and your family could benefit from a caregiving service:

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Home Instead Senior Care can help.

Setting up Services

Our relationship begins with a no-obligation Care Consultation in the Senior’s home. This meeting is intended to be an open and honest conversation, designed to help us understand your loved one’s care needs, personality and preferences so as to make the best CAREGiver match possible. We’ll explain our services and costs and take the time to address any questions or concerns you may have. We will also recommend a holistic plan care in view of any and all available supports from that provided by the government, family or other.  Wherever possible our CAREGivers are introduced to our clients and orientated to the client’s home environment to ensure a good fit and an empowering start to our services.
