Nepean Home Care Services

Home care in Nepean, Ottawa helps seniors across the west-central part of the city stay in the homes they know. 1st Home Health Care sends caregivers to Nepean, Bells Corners, Merivale and the neighbourhoods around them for personal care, companionship, respite, meals and overnight support. This is non-medical care: we do not give medication, change dressings or do nursing procedures. Our office is in Orleans, and care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Senior Care Nepean Families Choose

Nepean is made up of long-established neighbourhoods, and many seniors here have lived in the same house for decades. Their homes are often familiar, well kept and full of memories, and they do not want to leave. But stairs, shopping and a full week of cooking get harder, and a spouse who has been helping may be tiring.

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 office in Orleans.

Caregiver Nepean Ottawa Families Can Rely On

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.
