Trusted in living rooms across Canada.
Our coordinator called within the hour. Within two days, mum had a caregiver who felt like family. I finally slept through the night.
Gathercare's dementia-trained team gave my father back a sense of routine. The consistency of the same faces each week is everything.
After my hip surgery I dreaded going home alone. My caregiver was punctual, professional, and endlessly kind. A full recovery — no re-admission.
The matching process felt personal, not transactional. They asked about mum's favourite tea before her medication list.
Dad looks forward to Wednesdays now — that's when James comes. They watch the Jays together. It's more than care, it's company.
When my husband's Parkinson's progressed, Gathercare adjusted the plan within a week. No paperwork nightmares. Just support.
Questions families ask us.
How quickly can care begin?
In most provinces we can have a vetted caregiver in your home within 48 hours of your initial consultation. Urgent post-hospital discharges are often same-day.
Are your caregivers screened?
Every caregiver completes a vulnerable-sector background check, reference verification, in-person interview, and ongoing training. Nurses and PSWs are licence-verified in their province.
What does home care cost?
Rates vary by province and level of care. Consultations and care plans are always free — you only pay for hours delivered, with no long-term contracts.
Do you accept insurance or government funding?
Yes. We work with most major private insurers, Veterans Affairs Canada, WSIB, and provincial home-care programs. Our team handles the paperwork on your behalf.
What if we don't click with our caregiver?
Just call your coordinator. We'll match you with someone new — at no cost, no questions asked. Fit matters as much as skill.
Let's start with a conversation.
"Care isn't a checklist. It's the warmth of a hand held at a bedside — steady, unhurried, quietly capable."
