I need a caregiver for my mother that has recently been diagnosed with Alzhiemers, she turns 87 this month – what do I do?
You pick up the phone and call ASK4CARE SUPPORT SERVICES INC. one of our representatives will start jotting down points pertaining to a rough map of the care plan your mum would need. We term this as a “Need’s Analysis”, once we have the necessary information we will tell you how many hours of service your mum needs a day/week/month. If you concur we send out an intake form that you sign and send back to us. We then check our state of the art CRM to search for a suitable care-giver for your mum.

OHIP does not cover the services we offer, however you may check with your insurance provider as we are linked to several insurance companies that offer a specific coverage for support and respite care to their policy holders.
