Seniors & Elderly Care in the GTA
Overview:
We provide respectful, compassionate care to help seniors live safely and comfortably at home. Whether your loved one needs physical assistance or companionship, we tailor our care to preserve independence and dignity.
Our care is always tailored to the individual, but the following services form the core of our PSW support for seniors.

As people age, tasks like bathing, dressing, or using the toilet can become challenging.
Our PSWs assist with:
-
Bathing and showering safely with dignity

Grooming, hair care, nail care, and dressing assistanceIncontinence care and toileting support
-
Oral hygiene and skin care routines
-
Safe transfers from bed to chair or toilet
Every care interaction is handled with patience and respect, to ensure seniors feel comfortable and valued.
2. Mobility and Fall Prevention
One of the biggest risks to seniors is falling.
Our PSWs help reduce this risk through:

Supervision during movement or transfers

Assistance with walking, canes, or walkers

Light exercises or stretches to maintain balance and strength
-
Monitoring for hazards like loose rugs or clutter

Many older adults experience a decline in appetite or energy to cook.
Our PSWs can:
-
Prepare simple, nutritious meals based on dietary needs
-
Ensure hydration throughout the day

Sit with clients during meals to provide companionship and encouragement
-
Monitor food intake and note changes in appetite or weight

Assisting clients in opening containers or blister packs

Alerting family or caregivers if a dose is missed or refused
Our goal is to help prevent errors and maintain consistency without overstepping medical boundaries.
