Occupational Therapy
Wound Care
Mobility Training
Pain Management
IV Therapy/Injections
- Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias Care
- Parkinson’s Care
- Diabetes and other Chronic Conditions Care
- Hospice and Palliative Care Support
- Assistance with Personal Care
- Feeding
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Incontinence Care
- Transfers
- Medication Reminders
- Live-In Care
- Companionship/Engagement/Mental Stimulation
- Light Home Help
- Meal Planning and Preparation
- Laundry
- Medication Reminders
- Escort to Appointments, Errands & Grocery Shopping
- Respite for Family Caregivers
- Physiotherapy Support
