Personal Support

Our caring and friendly Personal Support Workers (PSWs) can help you live in your own home, longer.

They can provide assistance with personal care, bathing and showering, dressing, eating, medication supervision, skin care, exercises and more.

All of our Personal Support Workers undergo extensive ongoing training in order to provide you with the highest quality care.

You may require personal support if you are:

  • Living with dementia or another cognitive impairment
  • An adult or child with special needs
  • Facing a life-limiting illness

If you aren’t sure if personal support is right for you, or need help accessing care, please contact us at 905-827-8800.  We’re happy to help.
