Home Care in Mississauga
for Seniors & Families

Senior care at home, across Mississauga

Mississauga is one of the most diverse cities in Canada, and its seniors deserve care that reflects that. MERICARE provides private home care in Mississauga — personal support workers, companions and live-in caregivers — matched to your loved one's routine, culture and language.

Many of the Mississauga families we work with are adult children juggling a commute and a career while a parent lives alone in Meadowvale, Erin Mills or Malton. A regular caregiver takes the daily pressure off: someone to help with bathing and dressing, cook a familiar meal, remind about medication, and let you know how the day went.

Coming home from hospital in Mississauga

Mississauga's two main hospitals are Mississauga Hospital and Credit Valley Hospital, both part of Trillium Health Partners. If your loved one is coming home from either, we can provide post-hospital care that bridges the gap between discharge and full recovery, and work alongside any services arranged through Ontario Health atHome.

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 Mississauga

Our Mississauga companions help seniors stay active and connected: a stroll along the Port Credit waterfront, an afternoon at Celebration Square, errands at Square One, prayers at a local mosque, gurdwara, temple or church, or a visit to a seniors' program at a community centre near home.

Care in your family's language

Mississauga has some of the largest Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Arabic-speaking communities in Ontario — particularly in Malton, Meadowvale and Cooksville. Our caregivers speak these languages, so your loved one can explain exactly how they feel. Read more about our multilingual caregivers.

Private home care and Ontario Health atHome

Publicly funded home care in Mississauga is arranged through Ontario Health atHome, which assesses needs and allocates a set number of hours. Many Mississauga 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.
