Maintain Your Independence
Jewish Care understands how important it is for you to remain independent while living at home. That’s why we offer a variety of home care packages to suit your needs, making your life easier.
Whether you need a little extra help around the house, running errands, assistance recovering from a hospital stay or just someone to check-in on you through the week, Jewish Care’s In-Home Services is the answer.
A home care package gives you the opportunity to enjoy quality, compassionate care from our qualified Case Managers, Assessment Officers and Support Workers who will:
• Assist you in maintaining independence at home
• Listen, understand and support your care needs
• Be flexible and responsive
• Discuss and develop an individual plan with you, to meet your goals
• Help you to continue participation in your social activities and stay connected to your community
• Assist you in accessing other available services
Our In-Home Services Support Team is available to answer your call from 5:00am to 11:00pm, 7 days per week. They are ready to answer your questions and help tailor a home care package to suit you.
You can choose from many different services that come together to make up your personal home care package.
Each package can be modified to meet your individual requirements.
