Live-in Care Toronto
When caregiving is part of your everyday life, the idea of stepping back, even briefly, can feel impossible. Our Toronto live-in care services are designed for families who need consistent, compassionate support they can rely on, whether it’s to rest, recover, or simply breathe.
Care That’s Always Close
With live-in care, the person you love receives steady, relationship-based support, whether it's weekdays, weekends, or on a customized schedule.
More Than a Match
For us, it’s not just about placing a caregiver. It’s about creating a fit that feels natural. We get to know your loved one so we can match them with a caregiver who truly complements their needs.
Familiarity That Feels Like Freedom
Remaining at home means comfort, autonomy, dignity, and a sense of connection. With our live-in caregivers, hobbies, family visits, and personal interests can continue without interruption.
Care That Covers What Matters
From personal care to companionship, our live-in caregivers are there for every part of the day, big and small. Live-in care also gives families the chance to breathe, to be daughters, sons, and partners again, rather than full-time caregivers. It’s a moment of relief, wrapped in the reassurance that your loved one is well cared for, delivering attentive, around-the-clock support that adapts to their unique needs and routines.
This can benefit you in:
- Assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication reminders.
- Help with groceries and errands, whether it’s North York for a doctor’s appointment or a trip to Kensington Market for the perfect ingredients for meal prep.
- Friendly, consistent companionship through conversation, activities, and shared time.
Every live-in care plan is carefully developed in partnership with the client, their family, and healthcare professionals. It’s a collaborative, whole-person approach that ensures comfort, safety, and continuity from the start.
Careful Matches That Create Real Connection
We aim to create thoughtful pairings, not just to meet medical needs, but to address all aspects of the well-being of the person you love. Our clients are matched with someone whose personality, lifestyle, and professional experience align with their individual care needs, setting the foundation for genuine trust and long-term comfort.
Here’s what makes our approach different:
- Caregiver becomes more than a support, but a trusted presence in your family’s life.
- When needs shift or preferences evolve, we’re ready to adjust the match without disrupting care.
- Our collaborative approach includes families and healthcare, with the person you love in mind.
When the right person is in place, everyone feels it. The result? A sense of ease, trust, and consistency, day in, day out.
Independence Begins at Home
Home means familiarity, independence, and emotional grounding. That’s why our live-in care helps seniors remain in the spaces they know and love, without compromising their safety or support. Our live-in care services allow your family to:
- Continue daily rhythms uninterrupted, preserving a sense of routine and autonomy.
- Avoid upheaval or relocation, meaning they can keep everything they hold near and dear.
- Whether it’s seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in High Park or the best time of day to visit the Scarborough Bluffs, the person you love can experience cherished time in the city they love while making new memories.
Complete Care That Covers What Matters Most
Our caregivers support the full picture of your loved one’s day, not just their medical needs. We’re there for the little things that make life feel steady, familiar, and fulfilling:
- Assistance with personal care routines, including bathing, grooming, and medication reminders.
- Companionship that goes beyond conversation, shared walks, favourite shows, or simply being present.
- Transparent and ongoing communication with families ensures you always feel informed and involved.
This kind of care helps families rest easier, knowing every part of the day is handled with respect and heart.
Care That Reflects the Individual
Serving families across Toronto’s diverse communities, we’ll work with you to understand lifestyle and care preferences. Every person’s journey is different. Whether someone you love is living with Parkinson’s, recovering from surgery, a stroke, or needs support with everyday routines, we design care plans that reflect who they are, not just what they need.
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may still have questions; here are some we often hear:
Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home for an extended period, with time built in for rest and sleep. This creates a familiar presence throughout the day and night, offering consistent, relationship-based support.
In contrast, 24-hour shift care involves two or more caregivers rotating in timed shifts to ensure someone is always awake and alert—ideal for more complex or round-the-clock needs. Both provide full-day coverage, but live-in care brings added continuity and connection.
Yes, often it is. We’re known for moving quickly when families need urgent support. In many situations, we can begin live-in care within just a few days, ensuring your loved one is never left waiting for the help they need.
A live-in caregiver in Toronto typically costs more than an hourly service or respite care due to the extended duties and responsibilities of the professional. For a comprehensive look at costs, our team at Assurance can discuss specifics with you. There are many options for around-the-clock care if live-in care isn’t suitable for your loved one’s needs, and together, we can determine the best course of action.
Our live-in care includes a wide range of support to help your loved one stay safe, comfortable, and engaged at home:
- Personal care (like bathing, grooming, and medication reminders)
- Meal preparation
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Help with mobility and getting around
- Transportation to appointments or errands
- Meaningful companionship and one-on-one connection
Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) have transitioned to what is now called Ontario Health atHome. These regional organizations coordinate access to publicly funded home and community care. While they provide essential services, families often choose private providers like Assurance Home Care for faster access, personalized support, and greater flexibility, especially when timing and trust are critical.
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!
