Hospital-to-Home Care in Hamilton
The first days home from hospital are often the hardest, and a fall at home can mean going straight back. A caregiver can be there when your family member gets home and help them recover safely while they get their strength back.

What Hospital-to-Home Care Includes

- Being there on the day of discharge
- Help getting in and out of bed, the shower and the car
- Meals, hydration and medication reminders
- Following the exercises and instructions from the care team
- Company at follow-up appointments
- Short-term care that tapers off as they recover
Not Sure Which Service Is Right?
Our care team will listen, answer your questions and guide you to the care that fits your family, free and with no commitment.
Signs Your Loved One May Benefit
- A discharge date has been set and you're not sure how they'll manage
- They're recovering from surgery, a fall, a stroke or an illness
- Publicly funded home care won't cover all the hours they need
- You can't take time off work to be with them
Coming home to Hamilton
Whether your family member is coming home from Hamilton General, Juravinski Hospital, St. Joseph's Healthcare or McMaster University Medical Centre, call us as soon as a discharge date is likely. Care can then be planned before they leave, not after.
If a hospital care coordinator arranges publicly funded home care through Ontario Health atHome, our private visits can be scheduled around those visits to cover the hours in between.

Hospital-to-Home Care: Common Questions
When should I call about hospital discharge?
As soon as a discharge date is being talked about. Even a day or two gives us time to plan the first visits and have a caregiver there when your family member gets home.
Do you work with Ontario Health atHome?
We're a private home care provider. If your family member has been approved for publicly funded care, we can add private hours around those visits so there are no gaps.
How quickly can care start?
Often within a few days of your consultation, and sometimes sooner. If you need help urgently, for example for a hospital discharge, call us at (226) 506-7013 and we'll tell you straight away what we can arrange.
How much does home care cost?
It depends on the type of care and how many hours you need. At your free consultation we'll recommend a care plan and tell you exactly what it will cost before anything starts, with no obligation. Some private insurance plans and Veterans Affairs Canada programs help with the cost of home care, so it's worth checking your coverage.
Will we have the same caregiver?
We aim to keep the same caregiver, or a small consistent team, for every client. If a change is needed, we tell you ahead of time and introduce the new caregiver.
