Our 3 Step Process to Help at Home

Free Caring Assessment
Call or email one of our care managers who will work with you to learn about the history of your loved one, their individual needs and preferences and the expectations of the family as a whole.

Personalized Care Plan
A personalized care plan will be developed to address your loved one’s needs and includes a preliminary schedule of activities that will take place during their care.

Match with a Caregiver
Based on their preferences, your loved one will be matched with a qualified and insured caregiver that will be dedicated to servicing them like they would a member of their own family.
1) Determine how much help you/your loved one need(s).
Once you understand the required needs, you can compare them to the help that is already available. Start by making a list of everything your loved one needs assistance with on a monthly, weekly and daily basis. This will give you a clear picture of the right level of care required.
Then you need to really think about how much you, your family and friends can actually help. It is essential that you look at this from a long-term perspective. Your loved one may need ongoing care for years, so a few months of help will likely not be enough.
After looking at both of these lists, you will have a better idea of how much additional help will be required.
2) Evaluate The Pros And Cons
Both assisted living homes and in-home care services offer some great benefits, but both also have disadvantages based on your specific situation. As with any comparison, a simple pro and con analysis can be very helpful.

Assisted Living
Pros

4Family will not have to manage, schedule or hire care providers.
4Residents may get kicked out of their assisted living home with little to no advanced notice.
5The level of care can easily be increased as necessary.
5Your loved one may simply not enjoy living in a group environment.
Testimonials
Big Hearts Home Care has been taking care of my 90 year old mother-in-law for the past 6 months. They provided companionship at night. They have done a marvelous job. I highly recommend them.
Louise Hendriks
Our family was exhausted. My father was in and out of hospital 35 times over a period of 3 years. However, since your service began providing homecare over a period of 5 months and ongoing he has not had one single hospital admission. The Big Hearts team worked with great patience to make sure he was matched properly. My family is very grateful.
Amanda Boggan
Big Hearts is outstanding. We have called on them a few times on very short notice and they have been there. They have driven my mother-in-law to appointments, are always on time, caring, thoughtful and considerate. Their service was beyond my expectations. Their rates are fantastic as well. Thank you for everything!!
Jeannie Wilson
Big Hearts have sent care aides each night to stay with my mother who is suffering from dementia. We had tried out two other companies. One thing that set Big Hearts apart was management personally introduced the care-aides. The care-aides have been professional and caring. Thank you for helping our family through this difficult time.
Paul Hendriks
Big Hearts Homecare has removed the pains and strains of going through the recovery process on my own. Their team of professionals have provided outstanding round the clock service. I am extremely impressed with their care and support. One can really tell that they are here to help. I have recommended them to my friends and family without hesitation.
Scott Butterfield
We had very quick turnaround getting our terminally ill father out of the hospital and home. The Big Hearts team was extremely flexible and the care-aide was very compassionate and earned our Dad’s trust right away. She was also very knowledgable and helped my brother and I immensely with how to care for him. We couldn’t have done it without Big Hearts Home Care.
Lorri Petrie
Five Stars for Big Hearts Home Care for going above and beyond when called to assist in the care of a family member. Fatma and Big Hearts caregivers were kind and compassionate as well as professional. The daily updates they provided were very helpful and I would not hesitate in recommending Big Hearts to anyone who may require their services.
Bonnie Petley
We availed ourselves of the services of Big Hearts for two weeks after major surgery. We were very well served for sure! The administration and staff were well versed in how to assist; the care aide worked hard and took time to be interested in what we liked to do; she was kind and caring as well as able to suit our needs each day. Thank you to all – we have already referred other families to you!
Margaret Fraser
Our families interaction with Fatma and her staff was wonderful. We had a lovely experience with our care aide. She was so kind and gentle and caring with Dad. She was a great daily companion for him for almost a month. It was a great deal of help for my siblings and I. Just knowing he was cared for during the day while we were all at work made things so much easier.
Teresa Higo
Excellent care for my wife Christine who had recent hip replacement surgery. Our care aide was patient, kind and most helpful. We will call on Big Hearts Home Care when the other hip surgery gets done later in the year and hopefully Rehab will be available then too! Thank You!
Ray Beaulieu
During a very difficult time, the Big Hearts team was super caring and supportive to our 92-year-old mom and gave us the support we needed. Pricing is reasonable and we really liked the care workers who were thoughtful, flexible and really had “big hearts”.
