Home instead has been a game changer for my parents and for us. My Dad gets some one-on- one time, twice a week, which takes the pressure off our step-mother and gives her some much needed time for herself. Thanks Home instead!!

We needed to set up home care for our elderly relative with very little notice and Home Instead Markham quickly responded. We had already had an excellent experience with Home Instead in Toronto and Markham has been just as good. The team is small here but there is always someone on call. And the smaller size means that they really know their clients personally. We receive regular daily written reports which are invaluable when speaking with doctors - we know exactly what is happening which is very important because our relative has short term memory loss so she can't communicate her needs effectively. The team is professional and kind and we are extremely pleased with the quality, patience and professionalism of the caregivers. It is more expensive than in Toronto because of the travel times involved for everyone but we feel it has been worth it and has allowed our relative to remain in her own home which was her goal.

Jake and Leanne at Home Instead were lifesavers when both my parents became injured at the same time. They were able to quickly set up a support team which allowed my parents to maintain their independence during their recovery. A big thank you for making our lives easier!
