Guardian Home Care: a Toronto agency with recovery strength
Guardian Home Care is a nurse-led Toronto agency. Our caregivers are screened through Vulnerable Sector Checks and work under the ISO 9001-certified Integracare group. A nursing team is reachable at any hour. The majority of our caregivers are trained on all four facets of Alzheimer's and dementia care.
We can arrange care at home, in a retirement residence, or at hospital bedside. We also help families understand Ontario Health atHome funding and can supplement government hours with private care when needs exceed what public funding covers.

Frequently asked questions about elderly home care in Toronto
What does elderly home care include in Toronto?
At Guardian Home Care, elderly home care includes personal support tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Depending on clinical need, it can also include nursing services such as medication administration, wound care, and vital sign monitoring. A Registered Nurse assesses each client and oversees the full plan.
Can a caregiver come to a retirement residence or hospital?
Yes. Guardian provides one-on-one private care in the home, retirement residences, and at hospital bedside. This is useful when residence staffing levels are not sufficient for the level of care your loved one needs.
How quickly can elderly home care start?
We can usually arrange a nursing assessment quickly, sometimes the same day depending on the circumstances, and care can start soon after. If you need urgent support following a hospital discharge, call us directly at 416-613-8570.
Is overnight care available?
Yes. We provide overnight shifts for elderly clients who need supervision or care through the night, so family caregivers can rest. Our nursing team is also available by phone around the clock.
Does Ontario Health atHome cover personal support for elderly clients?
Ontario Health atHome (formerly HCCSS) funds some personal support hours for eligible clients. If those hours do not meet your loved one's needs, Guardian can supplement with private care. We help families understand both options.

Personal support you can trust
Guardian Home Care Toronto is committed to the highest standard of at-home health care in Toronto and Mississauga. We provide home care services, predominantly for Seniors, in Toronto and the surrounding area. Our main Senior Personal Support services are personal and client-centred, and are supervised 24/7 by our Registered Nursing Staff. Our Personal Support Services include overnight Senior care. Our private Senior care can be delivered at home, in a retirement home, in a nursing home or assisted living facility, and at bedside in the hospital.
Once care begins, a flexible and dynamic schedule is developed based on your loved one’s needs, and a caregiver is assigned. Feedback is sought from both caregiver and client on how care is going, and the care plan is adjusted as needs change over time.
“Our Nursing Care Managers are dedicated to ensuring that you or your loved one gets the care that you need and deserve.”
