Frequently Asked Questions
Clear Answers for Families Exploring Home Care
If your family is navigating dementia, discharge recovery, or caregiver burnout, these are the questions we hear most often.
Do you support dementia and Alzheimer's care at home?
Yes. Arcadia specializes in dementia and Alzheimer's home care, including routine-based support, supervision, communication approaches, and caregiver consistency.
Can you help after a hospital discharge?
Yes. We coordinate discharge transitions, home setup, personal care, mobility support, and follow-through so families are not left managing recovery alone.
How are caregivers matched to my family?
We match based on care needs, clinical context, personality fit, communication style, and scheduling reliability. The goal is both safe care and a trusted relationship.
Is home care available overnight or 24 hours?
Yes. Arcadia provides overnight and around-the-clock care for families who need continuous support or supervision.
Is there public funding for home care in Ontario?
Some families qualify for publicly funded services through Ontario Health atHome programs. We can help you understand options and where private care may still be needed.
Which areas do you serve?
Arcadia serves Toronto and the GTA, including York, Peel, Durham, and Halton regions.
How do we get started?
Call (844) 977-0050 or book a free consultation through our contact page. We will discuss your situation, assess needs, and recommend a practical next step.
Who should I call if my parent suddenly needs home care in Toronto?
Start by calling a home care provider that can assess urgency quickly and coordinate a safe first step. Arcadia can usually begin planning immediately and, when appropriate, start care within 24 to 72 hours.
How much does home care cost per hour in Toronto and the GTA?
Rates vary based on care complexity, schedule, and whether support is daytime, overnight, or 24-hour. The clearest way to get accurate pricing is a short consultation based on your family's real needs.
Can someone stay overnight with my mom or dad at home?
Yes. Overnight care is available for families who need supervision, safety monitoring, or support with night routines so primary caregivers can rest.
Can you help if my parent has dementia and does not want a caregiver?
Yes. We often start with a gradual introduction and a personality-based match so support feels familiar instead of disruptive. Building trust slowly is usually more effective than forcing change.
What is the fastest way to set up post-hospital care at home?
The fastest path is to call right away with discharge details, medications, mobility needs, and follow-up appointments. We can then coordinate a practical transition plan and caregiver schedule.
Is Arcadia available on weekends and holidays?
Care can be arranged seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, based on your schedule and care requirements.
Do you only serve downtown Toronto or the full GTA?
Arcadia serves families across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including York, Peel, Durham, and Halton regions.
Can I book a free consultation before making any decisions?
Absolutely. Consultations are no-obligation and designed to give families clarity, options, and a realistic care plan before they commit.
