Let Us Be Your Compass

For over 10 years, Compass Homecare has been a beacon of relief for countless families in the Greater Toronto area. We specialize in providing at-home care for clients living with debilitating diseases like ALS, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia, helping individuals and their families navigate the emotional toll of hospice and palliative care, providing up to 24/7 support, nursing oversight or simply being a source of companionship and assistance for people craving a sense of community. We are confident in our team’s ability to provide expert respite services to give families and unpaid caretakers a much-deserved break. Whatever the situation, we customize our care plans to fit your unique needs and circumstances.

How Personalized Care Helps?

Every individual we care for is unique, and our approach is no different. Our Personal Support Workers (PSWs) are not only well-trained but have the compassion, empathy, and sensitivity that are essential for providing holistic care. They strive to make our clients feel seen, heard, cared for, prioritized, and supported.

Compassionate Companionship

At the core of our services is the heartfelt companionship our team provides. We know that emotional and social well-being is just as important as physical health. Our PSWs engage with your loved ones, bringing warmth and friendship into their lives when you need to step away for a bit.

The Caregiver’s Support System

When you need to go grocery shopping, meet a friend for dinner, take a weekend off, or simply rest, we step in seamlessly to care for your loved ones as though they are our own family. This isn't just about giving you a break – it's about giving you peace of mind.

All Ages, All Stages

Our respite care services are designed to meet the diverse needs of people of all ages. We tailor our approach to suit the unique requirements and preferences of your loved one, regardless of age or condition.
