Understanding the Cost of Home Care
Home care in Ontario — especially in the GTA — offers families a flexible, affordable alternative to retirement residences and long-term care facilities. At Memories+, we believe quality care should come with transparency and peace of mind — not surprise costs.
Every family is different. That’s why we tailor every care plan to your needs, schedule, and budget. Whether you’re looking for occasional support or full-time, specialized care, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
What Affects the Cost of Senior Care in Ontario?
The total cost of care depends on several key factors:
Hours of care per week
From check-ins to 24/7 care
Type of care
Personal care, companionship, nursing, or dementia support
Schedule
Daytime, overnight, or weekends
Medical needs
Basic assistance vs. complex care (e.g., palliative, post-stroke recovery)
At Memories+, you only pay for what you need — with no hidden fees and no unnecessary services. Every plan is customized to your lifestyle and goals.
