Retirement home care is extra, one-to-one support for a senior who already lives in a Toronto retirement residence but could use more personal attention than shared staffing allows. A private caregiver comes to their suite to help with companionship, daily routines, personal care and getting out and about, working alongside the residence’s own staff. It is non-medical support. Call (416) 663-2930 to ask about extra one-to-one support.
Why Families Add One-to-One Support
Retirement residences offer a secure setting, a social life and a good deal of independence, which is why many families choose them. But group living means staff are shared across many residents, so a loved one may not get as much individual attention as they would like. Bringing in a private caregiver adds dedicated, one-to-one time, so your loved one gets extra help and company without leaving the residence they have settled into.
How a Private Caregiver Can Help
A private caregiver can help with the things that make daily life fuller and easier: companionship and shared hobbies, staying active, personal care, help with daily routines, and transportation to appointments or out into the community. Our Toronto caregivers are carefully screened and trained, so you can feel confident your loved one is in good hands.
Working Alongside Retirement Residence Staff
Our caregivers add to the residence’s care, they do not replace it. Think of it as an extra, dedicated pair of hands: the residence continues to provide its services and any on-site care, while our caregiver focuses one-to-one on your loved one. We are glad to fit in around the residence’s routines and staff so everything works together smoothly.
Support for Dementia or Increasing Needs
As needs change, one-to-one support can change with them. If your loved one is living with dementia, or simply needs more help over time, a familiar caregiver can offer extra reassurance, gentle routines and company, so they can stay settled in their residence with the people and surroundings they know. See Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care.
Discuss a Personalized Plan
Every situation is different, so we build support around your loved one’s routine and the residence they live in. Call (416) 663-2930 to ask about extra one-to-one support, and we will talk through what would help.
A note on what we do: This is non-medical, one-to-one support that adds to a retirement residence’s own care. Caregivers help with daily living and provide medication reminders but do not administer medication or provide nursing. Where clinical care is needed, that stays with the residence’s team or your medical providers.
