Home Retirement Services is the answer to independence for seniors. Whether the services are for you or a loved on, Home Retirement Services can offer respite to family caregivers and help extend and enhance living at home as a safe and comfortable alternative to institutional living without the stress of interrupted routines and changes in daily habits.
While Home Retirement Services cannot replace the love and support of an elderly person's family, our caregivers provide helpful and necessary services needed to brighten the day, lighten the workload and ensure peace of mind.
Examples of our home services include:

Routine housework including general cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, washing floors, laundry, ironing, changing beds, defrosting refrigerators/freezers, cleaning ovens/stoves and china cabinets.
Heavier cleaning such as spring-cleaning, light fixtures, and washing walls and windows.
Baking for holidays and special occasions.
Assisting with entertainment preparations, hosting, serving and/or cleanup.
aring for pets including feeding, exercising, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning birdcages, taking to grooming appointments or to the Vet.
Checking interior conditions of homes while residents are away and ensuring the exteriors reflect an "at-home" appearance.
As Community Nursing Care is generally government funded, Registered Nurses are not routinely retained on staff. Occasionally, certain individuals may not qualify for assistance or they may wish to supplement their entitlement. In such situations, we will arrange for Private Duty Nurses to provide in-home treatment, care, support and/or education.
In Home Assessments:
Non-medical Assessments are conducted to find clients' functioning capabilities, to identify their needs, and to determine what services are required to assist them attain and maintain optimum independence.
In both situations, assessors may review subsidization possibilities, develop Care Plans, make referrals, and arrange for Service Delivery Schedules according to the clients' wishes.
Certain segments of the population will find our services especially beneficial such as people who are frail; elderly; housebound; terminally, chronically, or acutely ill; physically or mentally challenged; recently discharged from hospital; family caregivers; and accident victims. Our services are available to private citizens and a wide range of agencies, institutes, corporations, groups, and governments including ICBC, WCB, CNIB, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Human Resources, Veterans Affairs, Health Canada, Indian Affairs, and the Public.
We service the YOUR Region. If a need arises, we will strive to accommodate anyone who requires service outside this geographical area.
How We Provide Added Value:
There are no costs for "non-medical" assessments but charges may be levied for "nursing" assessments. In some situations, mileage fees are applicable. Costs are worked out and discussed with clients prior to commencement of service.
