Senior Care Services Across the Greater Toronto Area

S Care Companion is a private home care agency that connects GTA families with trained, background-checked PSWs who come to your loved one's home. Because we operate on a private-pay basis, families contact us directly and care can begin as soon as the same day or the following morning. There's no assessment queue to join and no wait while paperwork moves through a system.

Our senior care services cover the full range of non-medical, hands-on support that keeps older adults safe and comfortable at home — from help with bathing and dressing to companionship, household tasks, overnight supervision, and post-hospital recovery. Care is fully customisable. You can book a few hours a week, daily visits, overnight shifts, live-in arrangements, or round-the-clock support, and adjust as needs change.

We run the GTA from our Brampton headquarters at 4515 Ebenezer Rd, Suite #203, Brampton, ON L6P 2K7, and serve families across 14 municipalities. Whether you're searching for in-home senior care or elder care services near you, the starting point is the same conversation: tell us what's going on, and we'll explain what fits.

Families weighing senior care options in Ontario generally face three routes, and it helps to understand how they differ.

Publicly funded home care through Ontario Health atHome (formerly LHIN/HCCSS) provides a limited number of personal support hours at no direct cost — but access requires an assessment, eligibility screening, and often a wait. Long-term care homes offer residential, facility-based living for seniors who can no longer remain at home, typically after an application and admission process. Both are valuable for the right circumstances.

Private-pay in-home care, which is what S Care Companion provides, sits between these options. You book directly, care starts quickly, and your parent stays in their own home with support shaped entirely around their routine. There's no eligibility cap on hours and no waitlist. For families who need help now, or who want more hours than the public system allows, private-pay in-home care fills the gap.

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 personal support — the daily, hands-on help that lets seniors stay safely at home.

Private in-home senior care in the GTA typically runs $25 to $35 per hour CAD as a market estimate (not S Care's published rate). Cost varies by service tier — companion care usually sits at the lower end, while live-in and 24-hour arrangements are structured differently. For context, Ontario PSWs themselves earn a median wage of $22 per hour per Job Bank Canada NOC 44101, with the Toronto Region median at $21.

Pricing depends on how much support is needed, how often visits occur, and the shift structure. For a full breakdown, see our guide to the cost of in-home senior care in Ontario. All S Care Companion services are billed in CAD, and we aim to be transparent about pricing from the first conversation — no hidden fees, no ambiguity about what's included.

We provide in-home senior care across 14 GTA municipalities, including Toronto, North York, Scarborough, East York, Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, King City, and Aurora. Families often start with our city pages for senior care in Toronto, Mississauga, and Vaughan — including neighbourhoods such as Heart Lake and Fletchers Creek in Brampton, and Malton in Mississauga. If you're searching for senior care near you anywhere across these communities, S Care Companion can help.
