Personal support workers Ontario
The most intimate form of home support - bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers. Delivered by the same PSW every visit, because dignity doesn't work with strangers. No referral. Care starts in 24-48 hours.
What personal support covers
Full support with bathing, showering, oral care, hair care, and skin care. Delivered at the client's pace with privacy and respect at every step.
Help with dressing, undressing, and grooming routines that preserve the individual's sense of self. Not rushed. Not clinical.
Safe assistance with bed-to-chair, chair-to-standing, and guided movement through the home. Fall prevention built into every visit.
Respectful, matter-of-fact continence support - one of the hardest things to ask for help with, and one of the most important to get right.
We document your routines and follow them - morning sequences, evening wind-downs, personal preferences. Your caregiver doesn't improvise.
Morning, afternoon, evening, or multiple visits daily. We work around the schedule that supports the person's life - not the other way around.
Why it matters
Personal care is intimate. When a different face arrives each time, even familiar tasks can feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or undignified. Families tell us consistently: the first week with a new caregiver is harder on the client than any task they're helping with. Aviora assigns the same PSW to every visit - not as a bonus, but as the baseline.
That familiarity compounds over time. The caregiver who has helped your father three mornings a week for two months knows that he prefers the shower before breakfast, that he gets unsteady when he's tired, and that he responds better when things are explained before they happen. You can't build that in 40 minutes with a stranger.
Getting started
We review care needs, daily routines, health context, and scheduling preferences. No forms, no referral needed. 20-30 minutes.
We select a PSW whose skills and temperament fit the individual. You confirm the match before care begins. If it's not right, we address it before the first visit.
Your PSW arrives knowing the routine. Same person, same day each week. Same-day family updates after every visit. If anything changes, we tell you first.
Serving households across Ontario - including rural and hard-to-reach communities.
