Client Testimonials
“While researching for a 'companion' for our Mother who suffers from stage 4 Alzheimer’s, we desired someone who not only understood the disease , but would know how to engage her, thereby increasing her quality of life. I liked what I read on Home Care Assistances' website and made the call. I spoke with Domenic, who was not only very helpful but most importantly designed a care plan that suited our family perfectly. He also had the perfect person in mind as well.. We are thrilled with his choice of companion! We even get glowing compliments from the long term care staff where she resides, on how wonderful and engaging our Mother's companion is with her. The overall professional, knowledgeable and friendly service provided by Home Care Assistance is greatly appreciated by our family. I highly recommend their company.”

“Home Care Assistance came to our rescue when my elderly mother who is 87 broke her pelvis. Domenic and Deborah were amazing and sat with my mom and the family for 2 hours to discuss her needs and explain their services. We had their PSWs come to her home every day for 12 hours per day. The ladies were great in taking care of my mom's needs and making her feel comfortable. She wasn't always easy for them, I'm sure, but they were very professional and took it all in stride. They were very prompt, never late, and stayed until everything was done. They took care of the cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene where needed, etc. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for trusting and very friendly care givers.”

“Hi Dominic and Deborah hope all is well with you. We are doing super. Totally loving Diana she is terrific. Mom is comfortable with Diana helping with personal care, and working in the kitchen with meals and clean up. Also the activities they have been doing seems to be bringing Mom’s mojo back. Truly a great match. I wanted to post a review but am only an email /online person. I’m not so good with computers so I have not joined any Facebook or the likes to post our review. Just wanted you both to know how happy my sister and I are with Diana and Home Care Barrie .
Thank you Wendy MacKenzie and Shelley Carville.
Five out of five.”
