How You Can Best Begin Care at Home

Step #1 – Call Brian Porter, Director, at 416-483-0070 (office) or 905-758-2486 (cell) or e-mail him at b.porter@laservices.ca for advice about options for care and support of your loved one and/or to arrange for a caregiver.

 

Step #2 – If requested, a professional assessment of the needs for caring and supporting your older person at home is arranged free of charge. When necessary, we consult with the physician of the senior, social workers or nursing home staff.   

 

Step #3 – We then carefully select at least two caregivers with the experience and personality best matched to the care recipient’s physical needs, personality and to her or his unique circumstances.

 

Step #4 – Next, we arrange an Introduction Meeting for about an hour to meet the  senior and her, or his, family. The purposes of this meeting are to:

  • enable the caregiver to learn fully and in person the needs of the senior and his, or her, daily routine
  • begin right from the start that most important  happy, warm, more personal relationship of your loved one with the caregiver

 

Step #5 – After your caregiver begins care and support, we continue on-going, personal contacts by telephone check-ins and home visits.

“I know that Marelyn and Lilla we able to go down to the garden when the weather permitted and they were also able to attend a music event downstairs which Lilla enjoyed. I was also very pleased that when Lilla went to the hospital, Marelyn accompanied her and stayed until we arrived…At a recent family conference, the nurse manager and social worker praised Marelyn for her work”

“The team looking after Mom is fantastic! Her wants and needs are catered to with each caregiver offering her unique style and special skills. At times Mom is ‘grumpy’ and tells them that they are fired! Twenty minutes later, all has been forgiven or forgotten. In addition to their regular ongoing duties they are each required to work with different CCAC caregivers who visit each day to assist them with Mom’s care. Amazing!!”
