African Ancestral Acknowledgement
We acknowledge all Treaty peoples – including those who came here as settlers – as migrants either in this generation or in generations past - and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery.

What We Do
Around The Clock Support
There are moments when a family member requires continuous, round-the-clock care. Individuals with advanced dementia, recovering from a stroke, or dealing with other debilitating conditions can greatly benefit from 24-hour care provided right in the comfort of their home, particularly.
For those who need the highest level of attention, our live-in caregiving service offers a comprehensive, team-based approach. One of our highly trained caregivers will reside in the home, ensuring they are available to assist your loved one, even during the night. This dedicated support ensures your family member receives the compassionate and professional care they deserve around the clock.

When personal care is provided by a professional rather than a family member, it enables your loved one to preserve their dignity while still receiving the necessary support to remain healthy and self-sufficient.
