The magic of our day care happens through meaningful matches – like when we paired Mrs. Patel, who missed traditional South Indian cooking with a Care Professional who grew up in Kerala and shares her passion for authentic recipes. Their visits often include preparing favourite dishes together! These natural connections transform day care into cherished time together. Whether it’s supporting rehabilitation exercises, enjoying reminiscence activities, or heading out to local spots, our Care Professionals, many of whom drive, ensure each day reflects what matters most to your loved one.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.
