Carleton Place and Almonte Home Care Services

Senior Care Carleton Place Families Choose

Carleton Place, Almonte and Arnprior are towns with a strong sense of community, and many seniors there have lived in the same house for years, close to their neighbours and often to their children. Many families would rather keep a parent at home in a town they love than move them to the city. That works best when daily help is available.

We start with a conversation about your parent: how the day goes, what is getting difficult and what they would like to keep doing. Then we suggest a plan, from a few hours a week to round-the-clock care. These towns are on the western edge of the area we serve, so call us and we will talk about how care can be arranged for your parent.
