Home Care for Seniors

At Caring for Seniors our trained caregivers help seniors live independently and in comfort. We provide qualified personal support to seniors living at home, in hospitals, in retirement homes and in assisted living. Personal support services encompass all of the basic activities of daily living. These are the day-to-day tasks that allow people to live at home independently. Meal preparation, homemaking, companionship, and personal care are some of the in-home care services we offer. Hourly, overnight and 24-hour care services are available in all of the communities we serve.

Compassionate Caregivers
Dedicated to Helping Seniors
At our home care agency, we prioritize the selection of qualified Personal Support Workers (PSWs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) as caregivers. We have a rigorous screening process in place, which includes a thorough police background check. Additionally, our caregivers are bonded and insured while delivering support services. It's important to note that these caregivers are our dedicated employees, ensuring reliable and professional assistance for the long term.

Finding the right care agency for your loved one can be a daunting task. This FAQ may help to answer some basic questions about home care. Feel free to call us for more information.

How quickly can I arrange care?

The process begins with an in-home assessment, which is free of charge. During this assessment, we take the time to understand the full scope of personal support needed for your loved one. Based on the assessment, a care plan is developed to ensure our caregivers are well-informed about your loved one's specific requirements. Home care services can then be scheduled immediately.

To arrange a home assessment, you can call us at (833) PSW-CARE or complete our contact form. We strive to schedule home assessments within 48 hours. We understand the urgency and importance of getting started with care services, and our team is dedicated to providing timely support for your loved one's needs.

Do you have a minimum service?

Yes. Our minimum is 2-4 hours per visit depending on your location. The hours of a minimum home visit are a bit higher for some of the more rural communities we serve. Please contact us for the specific minimum visit in your community.

What is customized scheduling?

Customized scheduling for home care means that we tailor our visits to meet the specific needs of your loved one. Whether they require multiple visits throughout the day, a monthly visit, or even 24/7 care, we can accommodate their unique schedule. Our care manager will work closely with you to develop a customized plan that aligns with your family's specific requirements, ensuring that your loved one receives the appropriate support when they need it most.

Who pays caregivers?

Our nurses, personal support workers, and caregivers are valued employees of Caring for Seniors. As their employer, we handle their wages, WSIB, payroll taxes, and other related payroll matters. Clients are billed at an hourly rate bi-weekly for the services provided.

What are ADLs & IADLs?

ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) are the basic self-care tasks individuals perform daily, such as personal hygiene, dressing, eating, mobility, continence, and basic transfers. IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) are more complex activities necessary for independent living, including housekeeping, meal preparation, medication management, and transportation. For more information about ADLs & IADLS please visit our activities of daily living page here.

Are there contracts to sign?

No. There are no contracts to sign or long-term obligations. We only ask that the individual responsible for care sign an agreement allowing us to invoice you for our services at the agreed-upon hourly rate. It will also authorize us to provide care in the home.

What is incidental transportation?

Incidental transportation is a home care service that is available to the clients in our care. Our PSWs assist individuals with preparing for outings and accompany them to their desired destinations. We stay by their side throughout the trip and provide assistance as needed. After the outing, our caregivers safely return clients to their homes. Some examples of incidental transportation are helping people get to medical appointments and shopping.

Will I get the same PSW each visit?

If you choose us as your care provider, you will be assigned a primary caregiver. You can expect care to be provided by the same caregiver each visit. We also assign one alternate PSW in the event your primary caregiver is unavailable.

Are there cancellation fees?

No, there are no cancellation fees. As a courtesy, we ask for 24-hours notice when cancelling a shift. It allows us time to re-schedule our caregiver. If you decide you no longer want our services, there are no penalties.

How do you handle an emergency?

All personal support workers are trained in emergency policies and procedures. When an emergency occurs 911 is called and the home is secured. Our office is contacted immediately and family members or primary contacts are notified by office staff.

Insurance, WSIB & VAC payments?

Credit card payments are made to us through the Google Pay platform. We accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard, cheques, and e-transfers. Care services are billed bi-weekly.

HST exemption for private care

If you are currently receiving publicly funded home care and require additional support, those private home care services would be HST exempt. The CRA's guidelines to qualify for HST-exempt home care services state:

the service meets the definition of a home care service;
the home care service is rendered to an individual in the individual's place of residence; and
either
a ) the home care service is supplied by a government or municipality; or
b) a payment is made by a government, municipality, or organization administering a government or municipal program in respect of home care services to:
i) the home care service provider; or
ii.) any person for purposes of purchasing the home care service.

More information on the CRA's regulations can be found at the following link: CRA - HST Home Care Services. If you have paid HST in the past, while concurrently receiving public services, you may be entitled to a rebate. We suggest you contact your tax advisor.

Does my loved one need home care?

Does My Loved One Need Home Care?

When considering the need for care for your loved one, it is important to consult with their physician and other healthcare professionals. These experts can provide valuable insights into your loved one's medical condition, functional abilities, and care requirements, guiding you on the appropriate types of services that would be beneficial.

Here are signs that may indicate the need for professional care:

1. Challenges with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Requiring assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or eating can signal the need for professional support.

2. Managing Chronic Health Conditions: A chronic illness or condition that requires ongoing monitoring, medication management, or specialized care may indicate the need for expert assistance.

3. Addressing Safety Concerns: Frequent falls, confusion, memory loss, or difficulty maintaining a safe living environment can be indicators that professional care is necessary.

4. Alleviating Social Isolation: Feelings of loneliness or a lack of social interaction can be improved with the help of dedicated caregivers who provide companionship and engage in meaningful activities.

5. Relieving Caregiver Burden: If you, as the primary caregiver, find it increasingly challenging to balance your loved one's needs with your other responsibilities, professional care can offer respite and support for both you and your loved one.

By considering these factors and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals, you can assess your loved one's care needs more accurately. A professional assessment can help identify the appropriate level of care required and develop a personalized care plan tailored to their unique situation.

Remember to involve your loved one in the decision-making process, taking into account their preferences and wishes. Collaborating with healthcare professionals and exploring care options will enable you to make an informed decision that ensures the well-being and comfort of your loved one.

What are home care services?

Home care services provide individuals with assistance for essential everyday tasks, categorized as activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). ADLs include personal care activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, while IADLs encompass tasks like meal preparation and medication management.
