Personal Care (PSW) in the GTA

Personal care is hands-on support with the activities of daily living, usually delivered by a trained Personal Support Worker (PSW). It is the right fit when companionship is no longer enough.

Typical GTA cost: $30–$45 / hr. A market range to set expectations, not a quote. Most agencies have a 3–4 hour minimum per visit.

What personal care usually covers

  • Bathing, showering, and grooming
  • Dressing and toileting
  • Mobility and transfer assistance
  • Incontinence care
  • Feeding and meal support
  • Medication reminders

Common questions

What is a PSW?
A Personal Support Worker is trained to help with personal and daily-living tasks. In Ontario, PSWs can register with the public HSCPOA register, which families can search.
Can a PSW give medications?
PSWs typically remind and assist with medication. Administering medications or clinical tasks usually requires a nurse. Ask each provider what their staff are trained and permitted to do.
