Frequently Asked Questions

According to the Canadian Home Care Association home care is defined as an integrated “array of services, provided in the home and community setting, that encompass health promotion and teaching, curative intervention, end of life care, rehabilitation, support and maintenance, social adaptation and integration, and support for the family caregiver”.

Although each option has its pros and cons, home care is well suited for people who want complete flexibility in the services they choose. Home care services are available wherever you are, so this allows you to stay where you are most comfortable. Home care can be financially sensible for seniors who own their homes. In-home support allows you to decide how much care you need, and when you need it, leaving you in control. Home care can also be provided in a retirement home or long term care facility if additional one-on-one care is required. 

Anyone who feels that their time would be better spent on the things they enjoy instead of struggling through tasks they find difficult. This could be a senior who is tired of doing the vacuuming, someone who needs some assistance getting dressed in the morning so they can go out and enjoy their day, or someone caring for a loved one that needs a few hours off to do something for themselves. Home care services are flexible to meet the very personal needs of each individual.

Our services are tailored to private citizens, and are not covered by government health care plans. 

No. Our services begin where the government funded home care program ends; Blossom Home Care Services works in collaboration with them. 

Most clients receive care in their own home (Peterborough and surrounding area); however arrangements can be made to provide additional care to clients in living in Long Term Care or Retirement Residences.
