  • Do you only care for seniors in their home?

    No, we provide one-on-one care services and support anywhere you need us, whether in your own home, a nursing home, hospital, retirement home or respite care facility.

  • How do I know if my loved one needs home care?

    There are several areas to assess to determine if some extra help at home might be needed. Are they able to function independently, such as using the phone, preparing meals and doing laundry, shopping, paying bills, etc? Can they perform basic daily activities, such as bathing, getting dressed, and eating? Are they more forgetful or are you noticing bruises from falls?


    If you feel any of these areas are of concern and safety is becoming an issue, having extra help - even just a few days a week - can help to keep your loved one at home longer.

  • What is ‘aging in place’?

    Most people want to stay in their home for as long as possible. But as we get older, the risk of falls, bumps and bruises increases and our once safe home can become hazardous.


    The purpose of 'aging in place' is to ensure our home remains a safe place for us. This can be done in a variety of ways from simply rearranging furniture and decluttering to make it easier to move around, to installing hand rails in key locations, through to renovating a bathroom, kitchen or other areas to make them more accessible.

  • How do I convince my loved one they need home care?

    Patience and understanding go a long way in helping your loved one realize they need some help. Listen to their needs, talk about their daily activities and how their ability to manage has changed, be honest but respectful.


    We can also help you with the difficult conversation. Our Director of Care can be that impartial third party to help your loved one see where help is needed. Book a free in-home consultation today.

  • What if I don’t like my caregiver?

    The caregiver and patient relationship is a special one. It is a bond that can improve the quality of life and even promote healing. For some, it may be one of their primary relationships and it is important that the relationship is a strong one. Our director assesses all client likes and dislikes to provide them a compatible caregiver.


    However, if for any reason you are not happy with your caregiver, we will do our best to find you a suitable replacement. You can call us at any time to discuss your situation or concerns.

  • Can your caregivers give medication or administer insulin?

    Yes, through our specialized clinical care services we will assign an RN or RPN caregiver to administer all necessary medications, whether by mouth or by injection.

  • Are your services covered by the government or insurance?

    LiveWell Pathway is a private healthcare company and therefore, are services are not covered by the government. However, some health insurers do provide coverage. Please check with your company or private health insurance provider for details.

  • Is home care tax deductible?

    You can claim eligible medical expenses on your income tax. Consult with a tax specialist for more information.

  • Do I have to sign a contract?

    Yes, we do require our clients to sign a contract in order for us to provide our services. However, our initial consultation is free and there is no obligation to sign with us.
