Senior Care Kanata Families Choose

Kanata and Stittsville have grown a great deal, and many of the families we speak with in the west end are balancing work, children and a parent who needs more help than before. Some seniors have lived here for years. Others have moved to be close to their children. Either way, a time comes when the house, the stairs or the cooking become hard to manage.

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. Our caregivers come to the home from our Orleans office, and we are glad to talk about how visits will work for the rural areas too.

We send the same caregiver wherever we can, so your parent gets to know them. Our personal support workers (PSWs) are PSW certified, and our sitters are CPR certified. We are insured and bonded, our caregivers are covered by WSIB, and we run Police Vulnerable Sector Checks.
