Maria G.
On behalf of my entire family, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the team at Home Instead, with special recognition to two extraordinary individuals. Ayeasha, our service coordinator, has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is not only incredibly kind and compassionate, but also highly organized and efficient. Her support has helped keep our family informed, on schedule, and reassured during what can often be a challenging and emotional time. We are also deeply grateful for our wonderful CAREGiver, Johanna. She has truly become part of our family. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care for our dad have been a true blessing. Knowing he is in such capable and compassionate hands brings us tremendous peace of mind. Thank you for the exceptional care, professionalism, and humanity you bring to your work. It has made a meaningful difference in our lives, and we are sincerely thankful.

We were very happy and impressed with the service we got from Home Instead. They were very responsive to our concerns and always addressed whatever we needed with much flexibility. We truly were able to get a response 24 hours a day, and most of the time email communication was all that was needed. We always felt they had our backs. Both PSWs they sent us were very competent, caring, and our loved one took to both very easily. They were easy to work with and satisfied all our needs. One thing I wish I had done is clarify our needs in more detail. There was a bit of a discrepancy between what we thought training in a specific subject was and what training the PSWs actually had.

- Missed medications, meals, or appointments
- Challenges with bathing, dressing, or mobility
- Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.
Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
- Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
- You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
- You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on
Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.
You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.
Here's how it works with Home Instead Mississauga:
- We start with a conversation. We'll meet with you in your home—and listen closely. What does your loved one need help with? What do they enjoy? What's most important to them? This free consultation helps us create a customized care plan.
- We build your care team. We'll match your loved one with a trained, compassionate Care Pro based on skills, schedule, and compatibility. Many of our Care Pros bring years of experience supporting chronic conditions or memory care.
- We start care quickly. We can often begin care within 48 hours. Services may include bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication reminders, and more. We also offer 24-hour care, dementia support, and hospice assistance.
- We stay connected. Our Mississauga office is available 24/7 for support. Your dedicated Care Manager will stay in touch to make sure everything's working—and adjust care as needs change.
It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?
At Home Instead, we don't just send a caregiver—we introduce you to a Care Pro. It's a title we take seriously, because our team members bring more than just help—they bring heart, consistency, and respect for the life your loved one has built.
Here's what sets our Mississauga Care Pros apart:
- They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, reference checks, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
- They're employees—not contractors. That means we handle taxes, scheduling, and supervision. We also provide liability insurance and workers' comp, so you're fully protected.
- They're matched with care. We take time to match each Care Pro based on your loved one's personality, preferences, and needs. It's not just about filling a shift—it's about building a relationship.
- They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.
