Home Senior Service - Caring for Seniors in Toronto

Home Instead Senior Care helps seniors live their lives the way they want to. We do this by providing one-on-one, personalized care and assistance in a broad array of day-to-day activities.

Choosing the Right Senior Care Provider

Some factors you should consider when choosing a senior care provider are the following: reputation, experience, and trustworthiness. You want to make sure the provider you pick has a good track record. Reputation is very important. It’s important to know that the company is insured and licensed. If they aren’t, they may not be around long enough to help your loved one. As you research your options, here is a list of questions to ask that may help you in making your decision:

Is the Senior Care locally owned?

Locally owned Senior Care providers will always take responsibility for the community they serve.

Do they have a well trained staff?

When you hire someone, make sure they have the tools to succeed and are provided with training and certification. Look for people who are motivated and want to do their best.

Is care available around the clock?

People often need help at times of the day or night when you’re sleeping. If this is you, look for a care provider that can give you 24/7 care. Many care providers can provide short-term, long-term, or respite care.

Is the care personalized and flexible?

When it comes to healthcare, the needs of each client are different. You have to be able to choose the services that would best meet your needs. Ask if the schedule can be adjusted should your needs change.

Can we expect continuity from the CAREGiver?

To ensure that your client and CAREGiver are a good fit, you must put thought and effort into the matching process. You should also make sure that there is as much continuity as possible with the CAREGiver.

Services

Senior Care

Helping people to get ready for the day promotes dignity and independence. It helps people to stay in their homes as they age, rather than moving into a care home or nursing facility.

Nurse Directed Care

When your health care becomes complicated, you need help. If you need medication management, glucose checks, or wound care, ask for it. You’ll feel better in no time with care.

Hospice Support

People are too busy to worry about the little details. A professional will make sure your family is comfortable and will handle all the small stuff, so you can focus on the big picture.

Personal Care At Home

Home Instead Senior Care Toronto is a service provider designed for individuals who want to remain at home and need care for a wide range of activities and needs, including dementia and cognitive impairment. Home Instead Senior Care provides home support, medication reminders, bathing assistance, feeding assistance, dressing assistance, transfers assistance, personal care assistance, incontinence assistance, and so on.

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 insure that their skills and knowledge are always the highest possible.

At homeseniorservice.com, our goal is to give older adults the ability to stay in their homes.

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

Sensitive companionship, including prompts for medications
Meal preparation and cleanup
Light housework, including laundry and ironing
Shopping and other errands
Incidental transportation to stores, church, appointments, or social events
Overnight shifts for safety and reassurance
Respite to relieve family CAREGivers

Accessible At All Times

We are also committed to meeting the needs of the family. 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 a continuity of care. Because we understand the importance of the relationship between the client and the CAREGiver, we establish a set schedule using one CAREGiver, or 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 at all times.

Our CAREGivers carefully monitor changes in health and in the particular requirements of our Seniors. Should the need arise for the additional, medical care we will work hand-in-hand with you to augment the services we provide in arranging skilled health care coverage.

Please call us today to schedule a no-obligation meeting, so that we can better understand your needs and start the process of providing you with the CAREGiver services that best meet your needs.

About

About the Company

Quality of Character

Our Home Instead Senior Care Toronto offices are established as Toronto’s premier providers of non-medical homecare for seniors in the Greater Toronto area. We did this by adhering to some fundamental principles. First and foremost, we treat people the way we would want to be treated. This applies to our clients and their families, our CAREGivers, and our staff. We only hire CAREGivers that we would want to take care of our own family members. By focusing solely on non-medical care, we have a better opportunity to seek CAREGivers with the quality of character we demand.

Standards of Care

We set a high priority on the following three principles of quality care.

Responsiveness

We recognize that situations requiring home assistance are often very sudden and urgent in their development. An early discharge from the hospital, a sudden illness, increased frequency of falls, are examples of situations requiring immediate attention. We are on-call 24 hours a day for emergencies. We maintain adequate staff to respond to urgent needs. Most importantly, we work harder than anyone to meet your short notice situations.

Flexibility

Care requirements, health conditions, and family demands are all factors that will influence the need and schedule of care. We let our clients and their families determine the appropriate amount of care and the care schedule. As these needs change, we are happy to adjust the schedule accordingly. Clients are always able to discontinue service at any time with a 24-hour notice. We accommodate your needs, not the other way around.

Consistency

We devote a lot of energy to matching the right CAREGiver with each client. We follow-up each assignment to ensure compatibility and we work hard to provide as much continuity as possible. We would not want a steady parade of new CAREGivers taking care of us with each shift change, and we know neither would you.
