Our Story
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
Quality:
We will select only the best caregiver or companion for your needs. Once a caregiver / companion is matched with you, that person will receive an extensive orientation regarding your needs. If you aren't satisfied with the caregiver or companion, we will assign another to you promptly.
Continuity of Care:
Caregivers and companions will remain with you throughout the course of your care, as far as possible. We know how important it is to you to have a trusting relationship with your Personal Support Worker.
Timeliness:
Simcoe Senior Services will ensure that we schedule your care appointments at your convenience. Your initial assessment by a case manager will be scheduled quickly, often same day. When you need care we will be there. We are available 24 hours per day, every day.

We are fully insured for your protection. This includes liability coverage and workers compensation coverage. All of our workers have had a criminal record check and vulnerable sector search.

For over twenty years the founder of Simcoe Senior Services advocated for seniors who suffered neglect during hospitalizations or while living in institutional seniors' settings. As a result of doing this work, it became apparent that many seniors prefer to stay in their own home. Older individuals find comfort and safety in a familiar setting when physical or mental status deteriorates. The founder developed a passion for helping elderly and injured individuals. She became motivated to create Simcoe Senior Services Inc. to provide compassionate, enriching, and quality care each and every day.
Each registered practical nurse (RPN) and personal support worker (PSW) comes to Simcoe Senior Services with appropriate training from a recognized college. All PSWs are highly qualified to provide dignified and compassionate personal support services to their clients.

We ensure a wide range of backgrounds, ages, and languages are available to service seniors and those recovering from injuries.
