Providing quality medical and non-medical home health care in Toronto, Ontario and surrounding areas.
Menu
DaNurse is dedicated to contributing to the well-being of our community, helping patients take charge of their health by providing traditional home care services, along with supporting preventative care through patient and public health education programmes. We are committed to the delivery of community-oriented, culturally sensitive, and affordable healthcare services for our patients and families.
We are RNs, RPNs, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and medical social workers. But above all, we’re caring, compassionate mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. We understand how important it is for people to remain surrounded by family and the familiarity of home—which is why we deliver a complete range of in-home care that is always tailored to the needs of our patients.
If your ageing loved one lives alone and you are finding it challenging to keep up with their care… and feeling stressed, 24-hour home care can be a solution.
We can set up home care services in the GTA quickly and provide comfort and safety for seniors who are recovering from an illness or surgery or who are experiencing a change in cognition or mobility.
Not all 24-hour care situations are long-term.
For example, if you are caring for a senior but don’t want to leave them alone while you go on a brief trip, DaNurse will be available for 24-hour home care services.
Staying in their own home – This is is the ideal solution for loved ones who want to age in place, and benefit from having a caregiver with them in order to ensure their safety while bringing peace of mind to them and their family members.
Security – From long-term health problems to dementia, some ageing adults have illnesses that put them at risk for falls, wandering, or forgetfulness. Having a 24/7 plan of care can give you the peace of mind to know that your senior is safe at all times.
Socialization/Activities – Some ageing adults have a hard time doing the things they love without assistance. An in-home caregiver can assist your senior to live a life they love by helping with activities and socialization.
Giving the Family Caregiver a Break – We know you love your senior family member, but you don’t have to do everything by yourself. Let our in-home caregivers be your 24/7 eyes and ears to alleviate family caregiver stress.

A live-in caregiver lives in the senior’s home and is there to give 1-on-1 help every day.
Our in-home caregivers are trained in live-in home care and are able to help if your ageing adult has challenges with regular activities like sleeping, bathing, eating, and bathroom (toileting) assistance.
Also, they can provide personal care, complete household tasks, and help with other activities.
Depending on your loved one’s care requirements, DaNurse can set up 24-hour live-in care.
Our top priority is to make sure your ageing loved one receives the correct level of care and support needed. We want you, as the family caregiver, to have peace-of-mind.
For every challenge, DaNurse has a senior care solution. Call us today for more information about 24-Hour Home Care Services.
Whether you need help around the home or home health care staffing for an elderly relative, DaNurse has the experience, qualifications, and compassion needed to enjoy the best possible quality of life.
DaNurse, serving all of the GTA, provides 24-hour home care that meets the physical and mental needs of our seniors.
Our trained caregivers provide 24/7 help with everything from daily personal tasks to post-op care to help them get better faster.
A DaNurse team member will meet with your family to create a plan of care that meets everyone’s needs.
Our 24-Hour Home Care services help with everyday tasks and personal care needs.
Personal Care – Our caregivers assist with all kinds of personal care including bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting.
Emotional Care – Our compassionate, trained caregivers develop trust with seniors through heart-felt activities, conversation, and companionship.
Homemaker Services– As common chores become more challenging for your senior, we can help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and more.
Companionship may seem like something minor compared to assistance with bathing and using the toilet, but companionship is critically important for your loved one’s overall wellbeing.
Social isolation significantly increases a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.
There are a few differences between live-in home care and hourly home care:
Hourly Home Care
Live-In Home Care
Live-in caregivers are required to get 8 hours off each night to sleep. Hourly caregivers are paid to stay awake overnight (although you could allow them to sleep if you chose to).
Yes. You can book hourly home care for as many hours a week as you need, including around-the-clock.
If you are wondering whether your loved one would benefit from 24-hour in-home care, the answer is likely yes. After all, it’s arguably better to start 24-hour at-home care too soon than too late – after your parent has had a major fall, wandered away from home, or lost a dangerous amount of weight.
Here are some signs it’s time to get your loved one around-the-clock home care:
You experience caregiver burnout. It’s OK to admit that you need help with – or even a break from – caring for your parent. If you’re burned out, are you really providing your parent with the best care possible?
Sundowning occurs. In later stages of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, people can experience increased confusion, agitation, and even aggression when the sun goes down.
Physical requirements change. The more assistance your parent needs with activities of daily living, the harder it is for you to meet all their needs yourself.
Falls or the potential for falls. Falls among adults 65 and older caused over 34,000 deaths in 2019. If your parent has unexplained bruises, has suffered a serious fall, or has increasingly limited mobility, 24-hour care at home could help save their life by preventing a deadly fall.
