Hospital & Rehab Care in Markham, ON

​Hospital stays and spending time in medical facilities is sometimes a reality of the aging process. At Home Instead, we understand that these environments can be stressful and unfamiliar for your senior loved one. Hospital and clinical teams can often be busy and not able to give your family member the one-on-one attention they need to feel at ease. This, along with giving family caregivers a break is where Home Instead's Hospital Care Services can help.

We can watch over and engage your elderly loved one while they are in a hospital, supplementing the care and attention they are receiving from medical personnel or family during their stay.
