What is home care?

Home care means a trusted caregiver comes to the home to help a senior or disabled adult with daily tasks, so they can keep living safely and comfortably in the place they love. The level of care depends on the person's needs, it can range from a few hours a day or a few days a week, all the way to 24-hour care.

When is home care helpful?

Home care can make a real difference in the well-being and quality of life of a senior or disabled adult, and their family. Some of the most common situations:

✓ A loved one needs some help to live safely on their own
✓ Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or more serious dementia
✓ For companionship and healthier social connection
✓ Following a serious medical incident or hospitalization
✓ A chronic or age-related health condition or illness
✓ A family caregiver needs support or time to rest and recharge
