Non-Medical Senior Care
What is non-medical senior care?
Non-medical senior care either encompasses assistance that is not medical in nature and instead serves to help disabled and able-bodied aging adults and seniors with everyday activities like meal preparation, running errands, foot care, and more, or it can refer to assistance that is provided by professionals without formal medical training. Non-medical senior care can also include types of care like companion care.
At Meaningful Living, we provide both medical and non-medical services alike, depending on your needs. We have an expert team of registered nurses that can provide more complicated care or medical care such as administering and monitoring medication, palliative care, respite care, and more. Our team is also made up of trained senior caregivers like personal support workers that can assist you with more routine tasks that may become more difficult as one ages, such as grocery shopping, bathing, dressing, and more.
WHY CHOOSE non-medical senior care?
If you are generally active but have problems with daily tasks and do not require serious medical attention, non-medical care might be the right senior care option for you. This type of care is much less expensive than medical care; in Ontario, non-medical senior care generally costs around $20 to $30 CAD an hour, though this number evidently varies per company and per specific asks or needs.
