Our Home Care Services
Personal Care
Personal care is about someone providing care for you or your loved ones basic needs such as cleanliness, dressing, toileting and feeding, and so much more. However, it isn’t easy to have someone take care of us in this way.
So, it’s important to be sensitive to the person’s objections or embarrassment when someone else takes on these private tasks.
That’s where a certified PSW comes in as they are compassionate, with the experience required to maintain a person’s dignity while providing the necessary help.
Senior Care

Everyone’s needs are different and our services are tailored to cater to those needs. We provide trusted and reliable caregivers to assist your loved one either in their own home or in senior residences.

Why We Choose to Serve
Inevitably, we will grow old, but we hope to do so in a healthy state of mind and body so we may keep our independence. Unfortunately for many, that is not the case. Instead, they find themselves in need of assistance with basic tasks we have taken for granted in our daily lives. Some have been stricken with a debilitating disease, have a severe injury or even worse, are diagnosed with a form of dementia.
Fortunately, there are many of us who have an innate desire to care for and support others in their hours of need. As a caregiver placement agency, we search for this natural desire in the professional PSW’s (personal support workers) and office members we hire.
At most, this is a sad business, hearing and seeing the suffering that people and their families must live with daily. But then we experience times of joy when we hear our clients or clients’ families share how our PSWs have made a difference in their lives by making life more bearable, more enjoyable and for the families less worrisome.
We also experience times of joy when we hear our PSWs’ tell funny or interesting stories about our clients. We have even had caregivers thank us for matching them with a kind and thoughtful client. So, in addition to why we choose to serve, it’s for the people we partner together; the caregivers searching for the perfect clients, the clients searching for the reliable and caring caregiver.
We all meet the needs of each other, and that’s why we choose to serve!
