Companion & Home Help in the GTA

Companion care covers the non-medical help that keeps an older adult safe and connected at home. It is the most common starting point for families.

Typical GTA cost: $28–$38 / hr. A market range to set expectations, not a quote. Most agencies have a 3–4 hour minimum per visit.

What companion care usually covers

  • Companionship and conversation
  • Meal planning and cooking
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Grocery shopping and errands
  • Rides to appointments and outings
  • Medication reminders

Common questions

Is companion care the same as a PSW?
Not always. Companion care is non-medical help. When a parent needs hands-on help with bathing or dressing, that is personal care, usually provided by a Personal Support Worker (PSW).
How few hours can we book?
Most agencies have a 3 to 4 hour minimum per visit. Independent caregivers are sometimes more flexible.
