Serving Toronto families since 2005

Home Care in Toronto

Toronto families navigating dementia, acquired brain injury, stroke recovery, or complex aging often face the same challenge: finding home care that goes beyond basic task support. Arcadia provides clinically informed, relationship-based care across every Toronto neighbourhood — from the Annex to the Beaches, High Park to Leslieville, Rosedale to Regent Park.

We've been serving Toronto families since 2005, and our caregivers are supported by a team that understands the city's health system, its hospitals, and the specific pressures Toronto families face when caring for a loved one at home.

Navigating the Ontario Home Care System in Toronto

Many Toronto families are accessing the home care system for the first time. Ontario Health atHome (formerly the CCAC/LHIN) provides publicly funded home care — but wait times can be long and hours limited. Most families we work with use a combination of publicly funded and private care.

Arcadia's team can help you understand what you're entitled to through Ontario Health atHome, what your insurance may cover, and how to structure private care to fill the gaps. We work alongside the public system — not in place of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions families ask about home care in Toronto

How quickly can Arcadia start providing care in Toronto?
In most cases, we can complete a care assessment within 24–48 hours and have a caregiver in place shortly after. For urgent situations — such as a hospital discharge — we prioritize same-day or next-day starts.
Do your caregivers travel across Toronto, or are they local to specific areas?
We match caregivers to clients in their area. Most of our Toronto caregivers live in or near the neighbourhoods they serve, which means more reliable scheduling and less travel fatigue — both of which matter for consistency of care.
Can I combine publicly funded care from Ontario Health atHome with Arcadia's services?
Yes — most of our Toronto clients do exactly this. We help you understand your publicly funded allocation and then structure private care around the gaps. Our team handles the coordination.
Is home care covered by OHIP in Toronto?
OHIP does not directly cover home care services. Publicly funded support is coordinated through Ontario Health atHome, which may provide limited nursing or personal support hours depending on clinical need. Many Toronto families combine these publicly funded services with private home care to ensure consistent, adequate support at home.
