Vidal Home Care
Senior Home Care
Compassionate care for seniors, right at home. We connect families with carefully screened PSWs who provide one-on-one support with personal care, companionship, meals, mobility, and everyday activities.
What senior home care offers
Helping seniors stay comfortable and independent at home
Home is familiar. It's where routines, relationships, and independence matter most.
Senior home care provides the extra support an older adult may need to continue living safely and comfortably at home. Care can be as simple as a few hours of help each week or more regular support throughout the day.
Your PSW Caregiver can help with the practical things that make everyday life easier, while providing companionship and reassurance along the way.
Care may include:
- Personal care and hygiene
- Getting dressed and ready for the day
- Mobility and walking assistance
- Meal preparation and feeding assistance
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Grocery shopping and errands
- Transportation and appointments
- Companionship and social engagement
- Medication reminders
- Overnight support
- Respite for family caregivers
Flexible support
Care that fits your loved one's needs
Every family has a different reason for looking for home care.
Some seniors need a little help with everyday activities. Others need more hands-on support because of an illness, reduced mobility, or changes in their ability to live independently.
Care can be tailored around your loved one's needs, preferences, schedule, and daily routine.
Companion Care
Friendly, dependable companionship for seniors who would benefit from more social interaction and support throughout the day.

Good home care isn't only about completing a list of tasks.
It's about having someone there who understands your loved one's routine, respects their preferences, and helps them feel comfortable in their own home.
Depending on their needs, a caregiver can help with everything from preparing breakfast and getting dressed to accompanying them to an appointment or taking a walk around the neighbourhood.
And because care is provided one-on-one, your loved one gets support that is focused on them—not a schedule shared with several other clients.
Caregiver screening
A Caregiver you can feel comfortable bringing into your home
Inviting someone into your home to care for a parent or loved one is a big decision.
Vidal Home Care has a thorough and structured screening process designed to help families feel more confident about who is providing care.
Identity Verification
We verify the Caregiver's identity before they can provide care.
Certification Verification
PSW certification and current First Aid/CPR are mandatory.
Background Screening
Caregivers undergo background and vulnerable sector screening.
Video Assessment
Caregivers complete a video assessment to help evaluate communication, professionalism, and suitability for home care.
Knowledge Assessment
Caregivers complete a test covering important home care standards and expectations.
Ongoing Standards
Caregivers are expected to maintain required certifications and stay current with applicable training and care standards.
Care that works for your family
You may need care every day. Or you may only need someone a few afternoons a week.
Care can be arranged around your family's schedule, with the flexibility to increase or reduce support as your loved one's needs change.
You can also choose the Caregiver who feels like the right fit for your family.
Vidal provides Coordinator oversight throughout the process, including help with scheduling, communication, last-minute requests, and Caregiver replacements when a Caregiver cancels or is unavailable.
The goal is simple: make getting reliable care at home easier for your family.

How much does senior home care cost?
The cost of senior home care depends on the PSW Caregiver you choose and the hours of care required.
At Vidal Home Care, Caregivers set their own rates. This means you can choose the Caregiver that best fits your requirements, preferences and budget.
When is it time to consider senior home care?
It may be time to consider additional support if your loved one is:
- Having difficulty managing personal care independently
- Struggling with meals, housekeeping, or errands
- Becoming less steady on their feet
- Spending more time alone
- Forgetting appointments or everyday tasks
- Having difficulty managing their usual routine
- Recovering from an illness or hospital stay
- Living with dementia, Parkinson's, or another condition that affects daily life
- Relying increasingly on family members for everyday support
You don't necessarily have to wait until your loved one can no longer manage at home.
Sometimes a few hours of support each week can make everyday life easier—for them and for the family.
