At Assurance Home Care, we offer comprehensive senior care services in Ottawa that cover everything from a few hours of companionship each week to full-time live-in care.
Every family’s situation is different. Maybe your father needs help with meals and medication after a hospital stay. Perhaps your mother is living with early-stage dementia and needs someone to ensure her safety during the day. Or you’re a family caregiver who needs regular breaks to avoid burnout.

What Our Clients Say
I live a fair distance away and can only come on weekends so it is a huge reassurance to know that these staff are always looking out for my Mom’s best interest. They stay in constant touch with me and accommodate any special requests my Mom needs. She lives in a retirement home where the staff cannot give her the kind of attention she needs. Assurance staff have made it possible for my Mom to “age in place” and not have to go through a traumatic move in her late 90’s. They treat my Mom like their own mother! The owner of Assurance - Kristina has been super supportive, a wealth of information and always available to talk.
This is by far a 10/10 amazing company!!!!
Wouldn’t hesitate to hire again!
