Convalescent & Respite Care at Home
Recovery care after surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, and flexible respite for family caregivers across Toronto and the GTA. Nurse-led, available 24/7, with no long-term commitment required.
Care that supports recovery and gives caregivers a break
Whether someone is rebuilding strength at home after a hospital stay, or a family caregiver needs time to rest, our team provides steady, skilled support.
Convalescent Care
We help people recover safely at home after surgery, illness, or a hospital discharge, with personal care, meals, mobility support, and medication reminders.
Respite for Caregivers
We step in so a family caregiver can take a break, from a few hours to overnight or a holiday, with consistent, trusted care in place.
Flexible Scheduling
Care is available days, evenings, overnight, and on short notice. We build a schedule around the family, not the other way around.
What our convalescent and respite care includes
Every plan is built around the individual and adjusted as recovery progresses. Depending on the situation, care may include:
- Personal care such as bathing, dressing, and grooming
- Mobility assistance and fall prevention during recovery
- Medication reminders and help following discharge instructions
- Meal preparation and encouragement to eat and stay hydrated
- Companionship and gentle activity to support recovery
- Light housekeeping and laundry during the recovery period
- Overnight care and live-in support for continuous coverage
- Nurse-led care plans reviewed as recovery progresses
- Coordination with your family, physician, and Ontario Health atHome

A care plan built around getting stronger
Every convalescent care plan is overseen by a nurse who builds the plan, guides our caregivers, and adjusts support as recovery progresses. We work with your discharge team and family to make sure nothing falls through the gaps when someone comes home from hospital.
Respite care works the same way. We match a consistent caregiver to the family, so the person receiving care is comfortable and the family caregiver can step away with confidence. To arrange a free in-home assessment, visit our assessment page or call 1.855.483.2273.

Frequently asked questions
What is convalescent care at home?
Convalescent care is in-home support for someone recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay. A caregiver helps with personal care, meals, mobility, and medication reminders while the person rebuilds strength at home. A nurse oversees the plan and adjusts it as recovery progresses.
Can you help with recovery care after surgery?
Yes. We provide recovery care after surgery for people coming home from hospital who need hands-on support during the first days or weeks. We can often arrange care on short notice to match a discharge date.
What is respite care?
Respite care gives a family caregiver a planned break. We provide the same standard of care the family member would, so the person at home is comfortable and the caregiver can rest, travel, or attend to other responsibilities without worry.
How long can respite care last?
Respite care can be as short as a few hours or as long as several weeks. Some families arrange ongoing weekly respite. We build the schedule around what the family needs.
Can you arrange care on short notice?
In many cases, yes. If a family member is being discharged from hospital or a caregiver needs unexpected relief, call us at 1.855.483.2273 and we will do our best to arrange support quickly.
