Home Care Ontario

Diane, a home care Personal Support Worker in Ontario, says I feel that during this COVID-10 pandemic, my patients have enjoyed my visits in a more meaningful way. Even though the tasks were the same, it meant so much to them to have someone cheerful and positive around them during this very scary time. My patients were lonely, as no one could visit, and they could no longer go out. So, they were feeling very isolated. Many stated how lucky they were to be receiving compass...ionate, competent care in their homes as the horror stories of the impact of the virus on nursing homes had them very scared. Having someone to take care of them, have a chat, and hopefully a laugh or two, would make their day. It’s your home, your health and your care.

On a recent home care visit, Sulana, a Registered Dietician, met a frail, elderly patient who lived alone without much support from family or friends. The patient cooked all her meals using her microwave, but her microwave was broken and she was not expecting a new one until Christmas many months away. She simply could not afford to replace it herself. So Sulana did what thousands of home care workers do across Ontario every day. She looked for a way to help her client get... back on her feet. That night, Sulana posted to Facebook asking for a gently used microwave. Right away, there were over ten replies and Sulana was able to drop off a new microwave to her client the very next day. Just one more example of why more and more people across Ontario are choosing home care. Because it’s your home, your health and your care. Visit www.choosehomecare.ca to learn more.
