Home Care for Seniors in the GTA — Private-Pay PSW Care, No Waitlist

Our PSWs provide hands-on personal care and day-to-day support that keeps seniors safe, comfortable, and engaged at home. This includes bathing and showering, grooming and dressing, oral hygiene, toileting and continence support, and transfers and mobility assistance. On the practical side, our caregivers help with meal planning, feeding, light housekeeping, companionship, outings, and errands. They also provide medication reminders (we do not administer medication) and accompany clients to appointments — whether at home, at a retirement home, or at a hospital visit.

We also support families dealing with more specific circumstances. Our caregivers are experienced in dementia care, providing the kind of steady, familiar presence that people living with cognitive decline genuinely rely on. Families needing respite care services or companionship care for a parent can also reach S Care Companion directly.

S Care Companion is a PSW-only agency. We do not employ or place registered nurses, RPNs, LPNs, or any other regulated health professionals. Our focus is entirely on personal support — the kind of hands-on, daily help with elderly at home that makes an enormous difference to quality of life.

The quality of elder home care services comes down to the people providing it. Every PSW on our roster has completed college-level PSW training (following the Ontario PSW Program Standard delivered through Ontario's career and community colleges), passed a Vulnerable Sector police check, and holds current First Aid and CPR certification. Personal Support Workers are not regulated in most Canadian provinces, which is why our internal vetting standards matter — the bar is whatever the agency chooses to set. These aren't optional credentials — they're the baseline for every placement we make.

S Care Companion carries general liability insurance covering all placements, and is WSIB-compliant.

When a caregiver enters your parent's home, you deserve to know exactly who they are and what they're capable of. Our vetting process is thorough because in-home senior care involves real vulnerability. Families are trusting us with the people they love most, and we take that seriously. Beyond credentials, we match caregivers based on personality and communication style — we ask about communication preferences, language, and daily routine before confirming a match. A good match matters just as much as a good résumé.

Private home care in the GTA typically runs $30 to $35 per hour CAD as a market estimate (not S Care's published rate). For context, Ontario PSWs themselves earn a median wage of $22 per hour per Job Bank Canada NOC 44101, with Toronto Region median at $21. Pricing varies by how much support is needed, how often visits occur, and shift structure — hourly care, overnight, live-in, and 24-hour arrangements are each priced differently. For a closer look at the full pricing picture, see our breakdown of how much a PSW costs in Ontario.

All S Care Companion services are billed in CAD. We aim to be transparent about pricing from the first conversation. There are no hidden fees and no ambiguity about what's included. When families reach out, we walk through the care needs together and provide clear information on what different service structures cost.

Some families cover private home care costs through long-term care insurance policies, retirement savings, or support from other family members. Others fund care entirely out of pocket. We don't make assumptions about how families are managing financially. Our job is to make sure you understand your options clearly, so you can make the right decision.
