Home Care in Richmond Hill
for Seniors & Families

Senior care at home, across Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill sits right next to our Vaughan office, so our caregivers know it well. MERICARE provides senior home care in Richmond Hill — from a few hours of companionship a week to full-time live-in care — so your loved one can stay in the home and neighbourhood they know.

Families in Richmond Hill often tell us the same thing: Mom or Dad is mostly fine, but needs a hand with a few things, and someone checking in. That is exactly where in-home care helps. A regular caregiver covers bathing, meals and medication reminders, keeps an eye on changes in health, and keeps the family informed.

Private home care and Ontario Health atHome

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