Home Care in Milton
for Seniors & Families

Senior care at home, across Milton

Milton has been one of Ontario's fastest-growing towns, and many families have moved here with, or to be near, their parents. MERICARE provides in-home care for seniors in Milton so they can stay independent in their own home — whether that is a house in Old Milton or a newer build in Hawthorne Village or Ford.

Our Milton caregivers support everyday life: help getting washed and dressed, a hot meal at lunch, reminders for medication, a steady arm on the stairs, and good company in between. Care plans are flexible, from a couple of visits a week to round-the-clock live-in care.

Coming home from hospital in Milton

Milton District Hospital, part of Halton Healthcare, serves the town, and many residents also receive specialist care at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. When your loved one is ready to come home, we can provide post-hospital care to help them recover safely and avoid a return visit.

Learn more about our post-hospital and discharge care, or, if your loved one needs support around the clock, our 24-hour and live-in care.

Staying active and connected in Milton

Milton seniors love their outdoors, and our companions are happy to join: a gentle walk at Kelso Conservation Area or Mill Pond in Old Milton, the Saturday Milton Farmers' Market on Main Street, an afternoon at the FirstOntario Arts Centre, or simply errands and appointments around town.

Care in your family's language

Milton has a large and growing South Asian and Middle Eastern community. We offer care in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Arabic, Swedish and English so communication is comfortable and clear. Read more about our multilingual caregivers.

Private home care and Ontario Health atHome

Publicly funded home care in Milton is arranged through Ontario Health atHome, which assesses needs and allocates a set number of hours. Many Milton families use MERICARE alongside those services, or instead of them, to choose their own schedule, keep a consistent caregiver and get care in their own language. We are happy to talk through the options with you.
