Home Care in Vaughan
for Seniors & Families

Senior care at home, across Vaughan

MERICARE is a Vaughan home care company in the truest sense: our office is at 156 Corstate Ave in Concord, a few minutes from Highway 7 and the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. When a family in Woodbridge, Maple or Kleinburg calls us, they are calling neighbours, and the caregiver who arrives at the door usually lives nearby too.

Vaughan has grown quickly, and many families here are caring for parents who moved in with them, or who still live in the family home a short drive away. We build care plans around that reality — a morning personal care visit before work, a companion at lunch, or overnight support after a fall — so seniors can stay comfortable at home in Vaughan rather than moving into a facility.

Coming home from hospital in Vaughan

Most of our Vaughan clients receive hospital care at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, Mackenzie Health's hospital at Major Mackenzie Drive and Jane Street, or at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital just to the east. When a loved one is being discharged from either, we can have a caregiver ready for the drive home, set up the bedroom and bathroom for safe recovery, and follow the discharge instructions your family has been given.

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 Vaughan

Care at home in Vaughan also means getting out. Our companions accompany seniors to appointments, to a walk around Vaughan Mills, to the shops in Woodbridge's Market Lane, to a quiet afternoon at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, or to the community centres in Maple and Vellore — wherever your loved one feels most like themselves.

Care in your family's language

Vaughan is home to large Italian, South Asian, Middle Eastern and Russian-speaking communities. Our caregivers speak Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Arabic, Swedish and English, and we match on language and culture wherever we can. Read more about our multilingual caregivers.

Private home care and Ontario Health atHome

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