The Director's Journey: A Tale of Vision and Leadership of Homecare Assistance.
I was 7 years old when I started caring for the elderly. While I was growing up, my mom worked as a city
bus conductor and my grandmother as a street sweeper so they would meet people from many different
walks of life. Eventually, they noticed that there was a lack of support and resources available for the
growing elderly population in our community.
Since the love of God and service to others was a core value in my family, they decided to do something
to help fill this gap. So, despite our humble means, my mom and grandmother began preparing meals
for six elderly residents in our neighbourhood. After working all day and before eating our own dinner,
they cooked them big pots of food that my sister and I to deliver to them each night. We would happily
skip from house to house, excited to make them smile when we arrived holding their dinner! Eventually,
my mom also taught us how to make their beds, sweep the floor, wash dishes, and comb their hair during our dinner deliveries.
I continued to serve the elderly this way for the rest of my childhood years which laid the foundation for
the loving and dignified care that I bring to each client today. I take pride in caretaking; it is my world.
My Motto
COMPASSION. INTEGRITY. EXPERIENCE

Wondering Why You Should Trust Us with Your Home Care?
Caring for elderly or ill family members can be an overwhelming experience. You want to be there for them, just as they were there for you, but it can be challenging to balance their needs with the demands of your own life.
The constant juggling act of caring for a loved one while managing your other responsibilities can lead to burnout. This emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion can take a toll on everyone involved.
However, there is a solution. Professional caregivers in non-medical home care have become a necessity rather than a luxury in these situations. They provide essential support, allowing you to take a step back and breathe.
With their expertise and compassion, they ensure that your loved one receives the highest quality care while giving you the freedom to fulfill your other obligations.
By entrusting the care of your loved one to professionals, you can approach your role with a sense of calm and love. This allows you to truly be present and give them your undivided attention when you are together. It’s a gift that benefits both of you, ensuring that your loved one receives the care they deserve while allowing you to maintain a balanced life.

Enriching Lives Through Compassionate and Personalized Homecare Solutions
Among The Conditions Our Clients Can Face…
Our team of expert caregivers demonstrates both competence and compassion when attending to patients with a diverse range of illnesses and conditions. While we are not a medical agency, we prioritize the well-being of our clients and promptly inform families and other caregivers if we suspect any issues. Here are a few examples of the health concerns we support our clients in dealing with.
Heart Disease
Heart disease produces the highest death rate for the elderly, and some who survive heart attacks can be weakened and need extra help.
Stroke
Strokes can produce a range of physical and cognitive challenges. Our patient and compassionate caregivers can help clients navigate both, enabling them to live their best possible lives.C
Respiratory Illnesses
Older people’s health and quality of life can be enhanced by taking any prescribed medicines, and using oxygen as advised. We are experienced with oxygen equipment.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s produces physical and cognitive symptoms that can be challenging. Expert caregivers can help clients deal with those challenges and lead the most satisfying life possible.
Depression
One of the major causes of depression is loneliness or having nothing to do. Another reason for depression can be a result of suffering from other diseases that one feels powerless against. Healthcare professionals can provide advice and appropriate medications—and professional caregivers can provide companionship and activities that can help alleviate depression.
Dementia (Including Alzheimer’s)
Dementia is a cluster of cognitive, physical, and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. Caregiving for clients with dementia can be challenging—but patience, creativity, and calm compassion can produce remarkable results.
Diabetes
Whether Type 1 or Type 2, diabetes requires close monitoring and good compliance with health care recommendations, including a healthful diet. Often older people can forget to take medications, do blood testing, etc.—and we can help ensure good compliance.
Cancer
Even when cancer is present, quality of life can be enhanced through collaboration between caregivers and the healthcare team—and by implementing healthy living recommendations. We can help with those.
