Care While You're At The Cottage

Yes, we have a diverse group of trained PSWs and Nurses who speak various languages such as Tagalog, Hindi, Farsi, Portuguese, Italian, and Mandarin, etc.

We offer services in Toronto, GTA, Brampton, Mississauga, Pickering, Markham, Vaughan, Ajax, Oshawa, Niagara, Orillia, Barrie and Thunder Bay.

Our cost is dependent on the complexity of care, the type of service, and the care plan as well as any applicable insurance coverage.  An individual with more complex health care needs or an individual who cannot direct their own care will require a staff member with more knowledge and experience, and therefore the cost will be higher.

In Ontario, the former designations of health care aid, homemaker, attendant, etc., were all replaced by the category of worker known as a Personal Support Worker (PSW). PSW receives an average of six months of training – three to four months in the classroom and two months of internship or practical experience. Some receive additional training in Rehabilitation and Restorative Care and care of the person with Alzheimer's Disease. A Registered Nurse will do an initial assessment to identify risk factors, develop a Care Plan, and provide ongoing supervision for the PSW'S. Other health care professionals are employed (or requested through the local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC)) as required to meet individual needs. This may include a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Foot Care Registered Nurse, or Registered Practical Nurse.

At Arcadia Home Care, we carefully assess the needs of each individual and match them with a qualified PSW, who can best meet their needs in terms of personality, language, and culture. Sometimes we will employ a student who is upgrading or retraining as a PSW but who has valuable previous experience with certification from another province or the United States. These employees include nurses, physicians, and nursing aides who have been foreign-trained.

Arcadia Home Care offers a range of services to suit the varied needs of your loved ones. We provide housekeeping services including cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation, as well as personal support work as needs evolve. This could involve help with daily activities, medication management, and other aspects of health care.

At Arcadia Home Care, we understand that health needs can change over time. You will not need to find another service provider. Our caregivers are trained to adapt to these changes and provide a range of services, ensuring a seamless transition from housekeeping to more comprehensive care.

Our caregivers are trained to monitor and report any noticeable changes in your loved one's health. This includes keeping an eye on their dietary habits, daily activities, and overall well-being. We believe that a clean home and a balanced diet are crucial for healthy living.

We understand the trust you place in us and we don't take it lightly. All our caregivers undergo a rigorous selection process and training to ensure they are not only qualified but also share our values of empathy, respect, and professionalism.

We recognize your time is precious. That's why we are committed to keeping you informed about your parents' health and well-being. Our caregivers will communicate with you regularly, report any changes, and are always available to answer your questions.

Simply get in touch with us via phone, email, or through our website. We'll discuss your needs, answer your questions, and guide you through the process to ensure that your parents receive the care they deserve.
