Centred Content
We Can Support Your Independence By Assisting With Your Daily Activities at Home, Work & School.
At ILS, we assist adults with permanent physical disabilities and seniors with activities of daily living such as bathing, transferring, meal preparation, and household routines. We will assess your needs and offer either assisted living support or personal support depending on your needs.
Assisted Living
Assisted living services are designed for clients who can direct their own care and may need frequent access to services on a 24-hour basis within a designated geographic area. Together, we can develop a service plan around your needs and available resources. Please note that seniors who are considered “High Risk” will need to reach out to Ontario Health at Home to apply.
