Find the Right Care for You
Daily Living Support
Meal Preparation
As we age, eating nutritious meals becomes crucial, yet the hassle of meal preparation can be overwhelming. Our caregivers offer a practical solution. Imagine your loved one enjoying home-cooked meals tailored to their dietary needs. Our caregivers handle everything, from planning to shopping to cooking, ensuring each meal is both healthy, delicious and prepared according to food safety guidelines. With our support, your loved one can maintain a balanced diet. Let us simplify mealtime, so you can focus on what matters most.
Personal Care
Our caregivers excel in providing all aspects of personal care for seniors and persons living with disabilities. This includes tasks such as washing, showering, shampooing, hair styling, bed bathing, oral hygiene and non-medicated skin care. Additionally, we offer assistance with toileting, incontinence management, and foley catheter care. By tailoring our services to the unique needs of each client, we ensure a compassionate and professional experience, prioritizing individual preferences and maintaining dignity.
Light Housekeeping
At Remember When Homecare, we recognize the significance of a secure and hygienic environment. Our commitment lies in maintaining a safe and uncluttered home, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. We offer light housekeeping services for elderly individuals and for persons living with disabilities. We can assist with various household chores, including sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, garbage removal, laundry, dishwashing, and sanitizing surfaces. We understand that these tasks can be mundane and time-consuming, so allow us to handle them for you, so you can spend more time doing the things that you enjoy.
Companion Care
Did you know that being socially active is good for your health? Evidence suggests that there is a strong connection between social interaction and overall well-being. Amidst the busyness of daily life, it can be challenging to visit your loved ones as frequently as you desire, leading to less regular social stimulation. Our caregivers provide senior companionship services, ensuring the wellbeing of your loved one during the times when you cannot be there.
Medication Reminders
Remembering to take medications at the right time and taking the right dose can be difficult at any age. Our caregivers will ensure that you or your loved one is taking medications as prescribed by a physician, provide daily medication reminders and audit blister packs to ensure prescribed medications are taken at the correct dates and times.
Pet care
Pets are cherished members of the family, often becoming beloved companions who bring joy and comfort to daily life. Our caregivers recognize the profound bond between pets and their human companions, and as such, they extend their support to ensure the holistic well-being of both your loved ones and their furry friends. We can provide pet care for seniors and persons with disabilities. Our caregivers can assist with cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for a walk, and food preparation.
Transportation Services
Recognizing the significance of transportation services, whether for appointments, errands, grocery shopping or leisurely drives, we are available to assist. Allow us to help by providing safe and secure transportation and accompanying your loved one. For medical appointments, our caregivers can take detailed notes to ensure important information is relayed to you.
Additionally, we offer outings to various destinations, including the Art Gallery, Peggy's Cove, dinners, shows, and more, catering to our clients' preferences for enriching experiences beyond the home.
Grocery Shopping & Errands
Our caregivers offer assistance with all types of errands, including grocery shopping assistance. Clients can either accompany them or collaborate on a shopping list, and our caregivers will take care of the rest. Additionally, we provide transportation services for appointments or leisurely drives, catering to individual needs and preferences.
Roger Mader
Ashley (owner) met in my home to learn the specific care requirements for my 91 year old mother, with empathy, care and professionalism. She provided Tammy to help with daily care, and she was an exceptional eldercare worker: timely, proactive, bright and cheerful, kind and thoughtful, and with two masters degrees in sociology she really knew her stuff. And she also cooked and prepared meals and refused my repayment when she arrived with mom’s favorite grapenut ice cream.
I paid a higher hourly rate than I might have sourced locally but Tammy was worth more than she cost.

This company provided wonderful, kind and holistic care for our mother. The staff were genuinely interested in and cared about mom and always kept us informed of any changes or concerns. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing that extra layer of support for a loved one.

I contacted Remember When during my mother's stay in hospital. Given her diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia it made me feel far more at ease to have caregivers present with her when I couldn't be. We met some kind and thoughtful people in our experience with them who treated my mother with dignity and patience. Highly recommend them.

Shauna and the team at Remember When Homecare have been great to work with in support of my 91 year-old father, who has both dementia and complicated bladder cancer. They are flexible, responsive, and work well with Veterans Affairs. They have been instrumental in helping keep my father where he wants to be... in his off-grid Chester home eating his meals with a view of the lake and not in a nursing home :)
