Why Choose Selectacare for Palliative Home Care Services?

Palliative care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for people living with a serious, life-limiting illness. Selectacare provides private, non-medical home support that can complement care arranged through physicians, nurses, Ontario Health at Home, and other members of the person’s care team.

Support That Complements Clinical Care

Our caregivers assist with daily routines, personal care, and companionship while following the agreed-upon care plan. Selectacare’s service does not replace medical assessment, nursing, pain management, or emergency care.

Personalized Palliative Support Plans

Care is shaped around the individual’s routines, preferences, abilities, and family circumstances. The plan can be reviewed as needs, schedules, or priorities change.

Flexible Care From a Few Hours to 24/7

Arrange short visits, regular daytime help, overnight presence, or extended support based on the level of assistance your family needs.

Consistent and Compassionate Caregiving

We aim to match each client with a caregiver who has the right experience and a personality that helps the person and family feel comfortable.

Important care scope: For urgent medical symptoms, medication changes, pain or symptom management, contact the person’s physician, nurse, Ontario Health atHome care coordinator or emergency services. Selectacare provides private personal support and home care, not physician or nursing treatment.

Support may include walking assistance, transfers, and position changes when these tasks are included in the care plan and can be completed safely.

Respite for Family Caregivers

Scheduled respite gives family members time to sleep, work, attend appointments, or take a break while a caregiver stays with their loved one.

Comfort Is Personal

The Little Extras Can Make Home Feel More Comfortable

Palliative care at home is not only about completing tasks. Familiar routines and small preferences can help each day feel calmer and more personal. A caregiver may prepare a favorite snack, keep the room tidy, read aloud, play familiar music, help with a phone call or simply sit nearby when quiet company is preferred.

Selectacare caregivers follow the individual’s care instructions and respect the choices of the person and family. The goal is to provide practical help without taking away control, privacy or meaningful family time.

I’ve had consistently excellent experiences working with Selectacare, and I truly can’t recommend them highly enough. In my work with the elderly population, it’s essential to have reliable, compassionate support for clients who need in-home care or assistance with appointments. Selectacare has always delivered. Most recently, while I was out of the country, one of my clients experienced a crisis and was admitted to the hospital. It happened very quickly, so I contacted Selectacare. Greg and his team stepped in immediately, coordinating PSWs to support my client and helping navigate a very stressful situation. They stayed in constant communication with me through calls and texts, responding promptly at all hours of the day and the night. What could have been overwhelming and frightening became manageable thanks to their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care. This is just one of many experiences where Selectacare has gone above and beyond. Their dedication and reliability make them an invaluable partner in providing quality care. A big thanks to Greg, Mark, Louresa, and Jennyfer and the whole administrative team, as well as the PSWs who helped us. You truly make a difference!

Selectacare was the first — and only — place I contacted when we needed short-term care. From my very first conversation with Greg, I knew there was no need to look elsewhere. He was incredibly kind, warm, and helpful, and that level of care carried through the entire experience. Both Belle and Merry Jean were absolutely lovely. You can truly tell they care about what they do, and that culture clearly starts with Greg’s compassionate and attentive leadership. At one point, we needed to arrange an additional overnight shift at the last minute, and without hesitation Greg had it sorted out immediately. That level of responsiveness and support meant so much to us. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end. I would highly, highly recommend Selectacare — there’s simply no need to look anywhere else. I will always choose Selectacare!

Greg and his staff are very professional and very compassionate. My mom required their services for a sitter at St. Michael’s Hospital, both Flortia and Jihan were caring and provided amazing care. We were very comfortable with them watching my mother overnight. Definitely would recommend Selectacare shall you require their services.

Just had a visit with April for help with foot care for my 91 year father. She was extremely helpful, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. A pleasure to have her take care of him. She helped ease pain he was having due to ingrown toenails. All around, the process of booking with SELECTACARE was quick and easy. So glad I found them. Highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions About Palliative Care at Home

Is palliative care the same as end-of-life care? What can Selectacare caregivers help with? Do Selectacare caregivers provide nursing or pain management? How does private support fit with palliative care in Ontario, Canada? Can palliative home care be arranged overnight or around the clock? Where does Selectacare provide palliative care at home?

No. Palliative care can be introduced earlier in a serious condition and may be provided alongside treatment. End-of-life care generally refers to support during the final stage of life. Selectacare has a separate end-of-life care page for families looking specifically for that service.

Depending on the care plan, caregivers can assist with personal care, dressing, toileting, meal preparation, companionship, mobility, light household tasks, respite, and overnight support. Medication support may be provided only when documented in the care plan and permitted by Selectacare’s policies, caregiver training, and applicable scope requirements.

No. Selectacare’s palliative home care services provide private personal support and practical assistance. Medical assessment, nursing treatment, prescribing, medication changes, pain management, and symptom management must be handled by qualified, regulated health professionals.

Publicly funded palliative care in Ontario may include physician services, nursing, personal support, care coordination, and other health or community services for eligible patients. Families may also purchase private home care to add hours, respite, companionship, or practical support. Selectacare can provide private care alongside the person’s existing care plan without replacing their clinical team.
