Seniors wishing to remain in their homes prefer live-in care over assisted living facilities because they value comfort, safety, compassion, and quality. With our professional live-in caregivers by their side, seniors and elderly individuals can enjoy aging in the independence of their own homes while benefiting from round-the-clock personalized, and compassionate care.
It’s a difficult decision to bring outside care into the home of our parents and to win over them…ConsidraCare did it with ease.

We begin by assessing your loved one’s care requirements and creating a personalized senior care plan to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being.
Using our proprietary platform, we carefully match your loved one with the most suitable live-in caregivers from our team of pre-screened and trained professionals. We consider their specific care needs, personality, and preferences to ensure the best fit.
Our caregivers are employees of ConsidraCare, ensuring high standards of care and accountability. We assign caregivers based on the approved care plan and oversee all aspects of their employment, including training, scheduling, and payroll. For clients requiring continuous live-in care, we can provide a team of two caregivers on rotation to ensure proper rest and coverage.
We collaborate closely with families and caregivers to update care plans as needed. Families can access real-time updates through our client portal, while live-in caregivers use our app to receive instructions, record vitals, and communicate daily updates. Our team monitors care quality and ensures compliance with best practices.
If care needs change or a caregiver is no longer the right fit, we provide a replacement at no extra charge. Should a caregiver require time off due to illness or vacation, we arrange for a backup caregiver to ensure uninterrupted care.
Our live-in care services offer a superior alternative to facility-based care and other live-in care agencies. We understand that the thought of leaving one's home can be emotionally distressing for seniors, often leading to a decline in overall health. With ConsidraCare, you can trust that your loved one is receiving top-quality care around the clock through screened, trained, and monitored caregivers.

Live-in care refers to a full-time care service where a professional caregiver resides with the individual in need of care. This type of care ensures that assistance is available round-the-clock, thus providing peace of mind to the individual and their family.
A live-in caregiver is trained to manage various tasks such as personal care, medication management, mobility assistance, and companionship. The primary function of such a service is to provide 24-hour care, ensuring the safety, well-being, and comfort of the client at all times. Live-in care is particularly beneficial for individuals with serious health conditions, mobility issues, or cognitive impairments.
Live-in care is often considered a more appealing option compared to long-term care homes or hospice care for several reasons.
First, it provides an individualized, one-on-one approach to care that is tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the person receiving care. This can lead to improved quality of life and increased satisfaction with care.
Second, live-in care allows individuals to remain in their own homes, in a familiar environment, which can provide emotional comfort and reduce feelings of disorientation or distress. While long-term care homes and hospice care offer valuable services, they may not provide the same level of personalized attention and comfort as live-in care.
The cost of elderly home care in Canada varies widely depending on factors like location, level of care, and provider. On average, it can range from $25 to $45 per hour for in-home care services.
Live-in care or 24-hour care tends to have higher monthly costs, averaging around $3,000 to $6,000 or more per month. These costs may be partially covered by government programs or private insurance, depending on the individual’s situation.

In Canada, seniors can access several government-funded programs and services for free or at a reduced cost, including healthcare through the publicly funded healthcare system (Medicare), prescription drug coverage in some provinces, and various income support programs like Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). Additionally, seniors may qualify for reduced public transportation fares and access to community and recreational programs. The availability of these services may vary by province and territory.
The cost of elder care facilities varies significantly depending on the level of care needed, location, and the quality of the facility. However, in many cases, the cost of live-in care can be less expensive than long-term senior homes.
Live-in care allows seniors to stay in their own homes while receiving personalized care that is often more cost-effective than residential facilities. This is due to the fact that you’re only paying for the care you need and not for room and board at a facility.
Plus, live-in care offers advantages like comfort, familiarity, and personalized attention that can greatly enhance a senior’s quality of life. Therefore, live-in care can be a more economical and beneficial elder care cost solution for many families.
