Orleans Home Care Services

Home care in Orleans means a caregiver comes to your parent's home, in the neighbourhood where they have lived for years. 1st Home Health Care has its office on Talcy Crescent in Orleans and sends caregivers across east Ottawa 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. Care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Senior Care Orleans Families Choose

Many of the people we help in Orleans have lived in the same house for decades. They raised their families here, know their neighbours and want to stay. For the adult children, who often live across the city or in another province, the question is how to make that possible when daily tasks get harder.

Because our office is in Orleans, we are local. We know the east end, the roads and the winters. 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.

Caregiver Orleans 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.

Personal Care and PSW Support in Orleans

Personal care is hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and moving safely around the house. A PSW does this with patience and respect for privacy. Many Orleans families start here after a fall or a hospital stay. Read more about our personal care services.

Companion Care in Orleans

A companion visits for conversation, cards, a walk or a coffee out. It is a good fit for a parent who lives alone and spends long days with little company. Read more about companion care in Ottawa.

Respite Care in Orleans

If you are the one providing care, you need time to rest. A caregiver can stay with your parent for a few hours, a full day or longer, so you can sleep, work or step away. Read more about respite care.

Dementia and Alzheimer's Care in Orleans

Care at home for a parent with memory loss works best with routine and a familiar face. Our caregivers help with meals, personal care, supervision and gentle company. Read more about dementia care at home.

24 Hour, Overnight and Live-In Care

Some families need someone in the house through the night or around the clock. We provide overnight care, 24 hour shift coverage and live-in care. Read more about 24 hour home care.

Home Help, Meals and Transportation

A caregiver can do light housekeeping and laundry, cook meals, shop for groceries and go with your parent to appointments. In an Ottawa winter, that help matters even more. Read more about home help for seniors.
