Many older adults in Durham have lived in the same home for decades and want to stay there. Personal support at home makes that possible: help with the everyday things, from a caregiver who gets to know the routine and the person.
We serve Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington, including Bowmanville and Courtice. If you're not sure we reach you, just call.

What our caregivers help with
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and help moving safely around the home.
- Companionship: conversation, activities, outings, and company at appointments.
- Home making: meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, shopping and errands.
- Medication reminders: a prompt at the right time, so doses aren't missed or doubled.
- Respite and overnight support: a break for a family carer, or someone there through nights that aren't safe alone.
- Specialised support: for people living with dementia, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, or recovering from a stroke.
Care can be a few hours a week or round-the-clock support, and one-off visits are available too.
How it works
- A free assessment. We visit, listen, and tell you honestly what would help, and what wouldn't.
- We match a caregiver. Matched to the person, not just the schedule. You meet them before care starts.
- The same face, every visit. Continuity by design, so you never have to explain the routine twice.
