Markham, ON also provides live-in care.
Live-in care is a different model from our shift-based 24-hour care. Rather than Care Pros changing over every 8 to 12 hours, one Care Pro stays in the home during their working days, with a second alternating in, so someone rested and attentive is always there. Many families consider hiring a private live-in caregiver for round-the-clock help — here's what you get with us instead:- No employer headaches – we handle scheduling, payroll, and taxes, so you're not managing a household employee.
- A backup plan built in – if a Care Pro is ever unavailable, we cover the gap, so there's no scrambling to find a replacement.
- Nurse oversight throughout – a nurse guides the care plan, conducts regular quality assurance visits, and stays involved as needs change.
- A cost-effective long-term option – often comparable in price to moving to an assisted living facility, and the individual gets to stay in their own home.

Live-in care is one of the areas Home Instead Markham is particularly known for, while 24-hour care is designed for someone who needs continuous support throughout the day and night.

The appropriate arrangement depends on the individual’s needs and available staffing.
Our nursing and care teams work from an individualized care plan rather than treating each Care Pro visit separately.
Nurses oversee the assessment and care plan, Care Pros receive appropriate preparation, and quality is monitored as care continues.
With approximately 80 Care Pros, Home Instead Markham can coordinate different levels of support, including 24-hour care when staffing and the client’s needs allow.
Cost depends on the amount and type of support required and how the continuous care schedule is staffed.
