Home Care in Toronto
for Seniors & Families

Senior care at home, across Toronto

Toronto is a city of neighbourhoods, and senior care at home should fit the one your loved one lives in — a condo in North York, a semi in East York, a bungalow in Etobicoke or an apartment in Thorncliffe Park. MERICARE provides private home care in Toronto that adapts to each home and routine.

Our Toronto caregivers help with the daily tasks that become harder with age — bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, getting to appointments — and offer the company that makes a long day shorter. We focus on the north and west of the city, closest to our Vaughan office, and serve families across Toronto.

Coming home from hospital in Toronto

Toronto families we work with are often coming home from Humber River Health, North York General, Sunnybrook, Toronto Western or Etobicoke General Hospital. Our post-hospital care helps your loved one settle back in safely, follow discharge instructions, and regain strength at home.

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 Toronto

Our companions accompany Toronto seniors to medical appointments, the local library branch, a seniors' program at a community centre, a walk in Edwards Gardens or Earl Bales Park, or shopping at Yorkdale and the neighbourhood plaza — by car, TTC or on foot.

Care in your family's language

Toronto's seniors speak hundreds of languages. Our caregivers speak Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Arabic, Swedish and English — a particular help for families in Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park and Rexdale. Read more about our multilingual caregivers.

Private home care and Ontario Health atHome

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