Senior home care allows seniors to receive care in their homes by professional caregivers rather than moving to a residential care facility. This ensures the senior’s comfort while providing respite to family caregivers.

Care can include bathing, helping with mobility, meal preparation, transportation, medication and exercise reminders, light housekeeping, companionship, and more. It does not include medical treatments.

Depending on the senior’s needs, a caregiver may visit for a few hours a day or a few days a week (referred to as live-out or hourly care) or live in the senior’s home to provide live-in care around the clock.

ConsidraCare maintains a pool of pre-screened and experienced nurses and PSW’s in Ottawa. Our client care experts first discuss your elderly care needs with you and your family members and develop a complementary senior care plan.

If the senior only requires care a few hours a day, we provide matched caregivers from our pool of bonded, insured, and experienced employees. We take care of their scheduling and monitor them constantly during care delivery.

If the senior has more complex needs which require a live-in caregiver, we help families interview and select caregivers directly from our pool. Once you and your family have made a choice, your live-in caregiver will arrive on a designated date and start providing care as per our care plan.

All ConsidraCare’s caregivers undergo a rigorous screening process including interviews, background and vulnerability sector checks, and onboarding training.

ConsidraCare offers senior care through a network of its community heroes, individuals with experience in caregiving and a passion for improving seniors’ quality of life.

ConsidraCare uses a custom-built, state-of-the-art platform to screen and match caregivers with clients and keep families updated in real-time on their loved one’s care delivery. Our platform’s automation allows us to deliver care at rates 20 – 30% below the average industry rates.

We are highly selective, ensuring that only the most qualified caregivers join our team. Our caregivers undergo continuous training to deliver the highest quality care to our clients.

We are a physician-led organization which enables us to get a deeper understanding of our clients’ care needs and advocate for them with their primary health care providers.

Although long-term care may be necessary for seniors who need complex medical care, for most, home care may be the best option. Home care offers the benefits of safety, independence, flexibility, and familiarity for the senior.

In private retirement homes, full-time personal senior care, beyond basic elderly care services, is usually an additional cost. The total expense for a private suite and comprehensive elderly care in a retirement residence can reach $9,500 per month, possibly more.

For seniors needing only a few hours of care per day, ConsidraCare’s hourly care is an ideal and cost-effective solution, priced below larger franchises.

For those requiring round-the-clock care, ConsidraCare’s live-in care, provided by a dedicated caregiver living with the senior and offering 24/7 support, costs around $4,500 per month. This is nearly 50% less than similar care at a private long-term care facility.

No, ConsidraCare’s caregivers are Canadian nationals or permanent residents who already live and are authorized to work in Canada.

We are tapping into the pool of the 400,000+ professional caregivers available across Canada to provide them with better and fair employment opportunities.

Not hiring caregivers from abroad ensures faster arrangement of care and better peace of mind for the families.

ConsidraCare believes that the best way to ensure high-quality elderly care is to start with experienced and well-qualified caregivers who are carefully matched with each family’s specific needs. Using rigorous vetting processes based on our extensive experience and industry best practices, we build a pool of top caregivers and guide families on how to interview and select the best fit.

We strive to have the same caregiver provide care consistently, fostering strong bonds and ensuring continuity of in-home senior care.

Our caregiver and client apps empower caregivers and families to maintain high standards of care through collaborative care plan development. These apps integrate quality assurance tasks with daily living activities and facilitate constant communication between caregivers and families. Additionally, we provide tools to help caregivers enhance their skills, manage stress, and ensure regular breaks with prearranged backup. These measures have been proven to improve the quality of elderly care in a home setting.
