Senior care

Seniors challenged by the changes that can come with aging often need help clarifying their priorities and added responsibilities. Our values of compassion, dignity and respect are the basis of our goal of maintaining you or your loved one's privacy and independence.

The first priority of our palliative care providers is to acknowledge the delicate position of those facing life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. Palliative care aims to improve a person's quality of life through improved symptom management while providing psychosocial, emotional and spiritual support. Our registered nurses, registered practical nurses and certified personal support workers strive toward enhancing your loved one's quality of life and providing excellent care through all phases of his or her illness.

Our registered nurses and registered practical nurses are dedicated to caring for, and helping to prevent, wounds, whether you are recovering from a surgical procedure, have experienced a serious fall, or are at high risk of wounding yourself. Our nurses understand the range of medical needs of those who require wound care, alongside the home and personal care our clients can rely on receiving from our certified personal support workers.

Whatever health-care challenges you or your loved one face, we have registered nurses, personal support workers and allied health professionals to assist. We can help with a wide and varied range of situations and conditions such as autism, injuries, child birth, heart issues, asthma, stroke recovery, surgery and dementia. Below are just a few examples of our services; call us and we will provide answers for all of your questions and give you the kind of help you need specific to your situation.

Our nurses build a partnership with clients based on the client's input into creating an effective health-care plan and maintaining their home-care choices and nursing service. A primary nurse will develop familiarity with the client, gain an understanding of his or her health-care needs and be able to better anticipate potential risks and complications that may arise. The primary nurse will also ensure our home-care services are consistently delivered, in the event a secondary nurse is required to ensure continuing high-quality health care and comfort.

Our registered nurses, registered practical nurses and certified personal support workers will provide temporary home-care assistance to caregivers whose loved one might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.

Our home help services include:

• Light housekeeping (dusting, cleaning)
• Prescription and miscellaneous items pickup and delivery
• Laundry (ironing, beds and linens)
• Grocery and miscellaneous shopping, items drop-off and pickup (e.g. dry cleaning)
• Running errands
• Basic dwelling maintenance (e.g. change fuses, light bulbs)
