Live comfortably with dedicated care that supports your independence. At Assurance Home Care, our Personal Support Workers (PSWs) lend a helping hand with your routine. We’re here to make your days a little easier.
Making Daily Life Easier
Customized support is essential to Assurance Home Care. You or your loved one has an established routine, and we help ensure that everyday activities are completed and a strong sense of independence is maintained.
Care with Respect and Dignity
No matter the routine, we approach each day with respect for our clients. Our PSWs provide thoughtful assistance with personal needs, always prioritizing comfort and dignity during even the most private moments.
More Than Just Care—We’re Companions
Our services move beyond basic care to holistic support. We provide companionship, cherishing the shared stories and moments that make a difference in the lives of our clients.
Personal Support Care: Comprehensive, Compassionate, Customized
At Assurance, we understand the unique challenges that come with aging and health concerns. Staying at home, surrounded by familiar routines, provides many advantages. This sense of belonging is important for quality of life but also ensures continued comfort through the changes that life brings. Our personal support services help make this possible for individuals and families in the Ottawa area.
Meeting Diverse Needs with Sensitivity and Expertise
Our PSWs are not just caregivers; they are dedicated, compassionate professionals who understand the importance of a comfortable, safe, and enriching environment. With the right balance of expertise and warmth, our PSWs offer a wide range of services tailored to meet each individual’s needs:
- Bathing and Hygiene: Our PSWs assist with daily tasks like showers, baths, grooming, and oral hygiene. We approach these intimate tasks with respect and discretion, making what could be a vulnerable moment feel secure and dignified.
- Personal Care and Grooming: From getting dressed in the morning to preparing for special occasions, our PSWs help elevate everyday routines. We focus on enhancing self-confidence by providing assistance with selecting outfits, grooming, and hair care, which can make a big difference in how they feel.
- Washroom Assistance: Navigating the bathroom can be challenging for some living with mobility issues, but our team is here to provide safe and respectful help. Whether it’s assisting with transfers, managing clothing, or ensuring personal hygiene, our PSWs are trained to handle each task with utmost care and privacy.
- Incontinence Care: We understand that incontinence can be a sensitive issue. Our PSWs offer compassionate and discreet support, focusing on comfort, cleanliness, and maintaining skin health.
- Morning and Evening Routines: A structured routine helps bring stability and comfort to the day. Our PSWs are there to help with the start and close of each day, assisting with dressing, grooming, and other tasks that help mornings begin smoothly and evenings wind down peacefully.
- Movement and Transfer Assistance: Mobility challenges can make even simple movements difficult. Our PSWs provide crucial support with transfers from bed to chair, wheelchair to car, and other transitions that help you or your loved one stay active and engaged.
- Meal Assistance and Nutrition Support: Our caregivers assist with meal planning, preparation, and feeding when needed, ensuring meals are nutritionally balanced, enjoyable, and tailored to dietary needs.
- Light Housekeeping: Our PSWs help with light housekeeping tasks, such as tidying up, doing laundry, and maintaining a clutter-free space, allowing you or your loved one to relax in a pleasant, well-kept home.
- Medication Reminders: Staying on top of medications can be challenging, especially with multiple prescriptions. Our PSWs provide gentle reminders to ensure medications are taken correctly and on time, supporting health management plans without the stress of remembering each dose.
We select our PSWs through comprehensive screenings, including background checks and ongoing training, to ensure they bring not just skills but also empathy and understanding to their roles. At Assurance, we’re dedicated to providing sensitive, skilled, and personalized care that adapts to evolving needs.
