In order to maintain their independence and safety, many seniors find that they require additional support in the home as their abilities and mobility are reduced and their needs change.  Home support may range from the occasional friendly visit, shopping trip, or medical accompaniment to a full range of nursing services.  It can help to reduce stress, increase safety, and ensure that a senior is comfortable and secure in their home environment, preventing unnecessary placement or worry. 

General non-profit, Montreal-based, and national homecare resources are listed below.  Private listings are not exhaustive and by no means intend to endorse the service providers.

In addition, please see the following topics:

Accompaniment
Friendly Visits
Housecleaning
Daily Phonecall Services

Please note that many homecare and autonomy support services are also provided by the entities once known as CLSCs (centres locals de services communautaires) These public facilities provide a range of services  for older people to help them remain at home, including nursing services, physiotherapy, domestic services and psychosocial support. They are listed here in the Healthcare Facilities section.
