Home Care in Toronto — PSW Support at Home
When an aging parent wants to stay in the family home, a steady personal support worker (PSW) makes it possible. S Care Companion places vetted PSWs across Toronto for personal care, companionship, and respite — private-pay, with no waitlist.
Vetted PSWs · No waitlist · Toronto, Ontario
Toronto is a city of long-settled neighbourhoods, and many older residents have lived in the same house for decades. Families in Leaside, Forest Hill, and High Park often want to keep a parent in that home rather than move them.
The Beaches and Yorkville bring their own rhythm — walk-up homes, busy streets, and a mix of condos and houses. A PSW who knows the area can manage parking, transit, and the small daily errands that keep someone independent.
Downtown condos, midtown houses, and the east-end streets each ask something different of a PSW. A worker in a Forest Hill home manages stairs and a large kitchen; one in a Yorkville tower deals with tighter rooms, building access, and parking. S Care Companion matches the PSW to the home and the daily routine, not just the postal code, and revisits the plan as a parent’s needs shift through the year.

Home care that fits Toronto
Toronto has no shortage of senior housing. Lakeside Long Term Care Centre and the Briton House retirement residence serve families who choose a move, and Toronto General Hospital anchors care downtown. S Care Companion fills a different need — private-pay support at home, so a parent can stay put while still getting daily help with bathing, meals, and mobility.

Browse our home care services — the same PSW roster covers every option, so the person at your door stays familiar. Beyond bathing, meals, and mobility, that roster also covers respite when a family caregiver needs a break, overnight and live-in cover for a parent who is unsafe alone at night, and dementia support that keeps a familiar routine going.

Learn moreWhat home care costs in Toronto
Cost is usually the first question. According to Job Bank (NOC 44101), the median PSW wage in Ontario is $22/hr. Private PSW agency rates across the GTA typically run $30–35/hr, a market estimate that reflects vetting, coverage, and coordination. Ontario Health atHome funds some home care, but the publicly-funded hours are limited, so companionship and extra hours are private-pay. Our guide to what home care costs in Ontario breaks down the numbers.

ExploreWhy families in Toronto choose home care
Staying home is about more than the house. It is the neighbourhood, the routine, and the people a parent already knows. A small, named PSW rotation keeps that intact — the same faces week after week, not a stream of strangers. That continuity is what most Toronto families tell us matters most. It also keeps the family informed: a consistent PSW notices the small changes — a skipped meal, a new unsteadiness — and raises them early. For a parent who has built a life across Leaside, the Beaches, or Forest Hill, that quiet, watchful presence is what makes home the safest place to be.
