Home health care is a range of medical and non-medical services provided in the comfort of an individual’s home, including nursing care, personal support, help with daily activities, medication management, and companionship. Its goal is to promote independence and enhance quality of life through personalized care. Gentle Graces delivers flexible, client-focused home care with tailored support plans and a compassionate approach that prioritizes both comfort and connection here in the Greater Ottawa Region.
Home health care is available to individuals of all ages who need assistance with medical or daily living tasks due to aging, illness, injury, disability, or post-surgical recovery. It is ideal for seniors, those managing chronic conditions, individuals recovering from hospital stays, or anyone who needs ongoing support to remain independent at home. Eligibility is typically based on the level of care required, which is determined through a FREE initial assessment.
Gentle Graces offers the convenience of professional care delivered in the comfort of home, allowing clients to remain in a familiar and supportive environment. Our flexible care plans are tailored to each individual’s needs, supported by trained and thoroughly screened caregivers who prioritize safety and dignity. We also provide relief and guidance for family caregivers, helping reduce stress and prevent burnout. By focusing on personalized, respectful care, we aim to enhance quality of life while promoting independence.
The first visit is a FREE consultation led by our executive team. During this visit, we review medical history, assess current needs, discuss personal goals, and evaluate the home environment to ensure safety and comfort. This step allows us to align expectations, create a personalized care plan, and select the most suitable caregiver. By the time care begins, your assigned caregiver will already be familiar with your situation, home, and preferences—allowing meaningful care to start from day one.
The frequency of visits is customized to match your specific needs and preferences. Care can range from occasional visits of a few hours per week to full 24/7 support, depending on the level of assistance required. Our team works closely with you and your family to create a flexible care schedule that ensures you receive the right support at the right time. Regular reassessments are conducted to adjust visit frequency as your needs evolve.
Yes, you can request Gentle Graces by name for your home health care services. Simply inform your doctor or health care team of your preference, and we will coordinate directly with them to ensure a seamless transition of care. Gentle Graces is committed to delivering personalized, high-quality support tailored to your needs, and we would be honoured to be your chosen provider.
Gentle Graces operates as a mobile in-home care service, focusing all efforts on bringing care directly to you rather than maintaining a physical office.

This approach allows us to remain flexible, responsive, and fully dedicated to delivering consistent, high-quality care wherever you are in the Greater Ottawa Region.
In Ontario, the cost of home health care can be covered through a mix of funding sources, depending on your needs and eligibility. While certain medical services may be funded by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), many non-medical supports require private payment or coverage through extended health insurance. Some individuals may also qualify for assistance through programs such as the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) or other local funding options. Gentle Graces can assist in exploring these options and help create a care plan that fits both your needs and budget.
A “home” for home health care includes any place where an individual lives or resides, not just a private house. This can include apartments, condominiums, retirement residences, or even assisted living facilities, provided that the individual requires additional personal or medical support within that setting. Gentle Graces delivers care wherever you call home, ensuring you receive the right support in the environment where you feel most comfortable.
The length of home health care varies based on individual needs and circumstances. Some people may only require short-term care during recovery from surgery, illness, or injury, while others may benefit from ongoing, long-term support due to chronic conditions or aging. Care plans are tailored to your situation and reviewed regularly to ensure the right level of care for as long as it’s needed—whether for a few weeks or an extended period.
Gentle Graces follows a rigorous process to ensure only the most qualified and trustworthy caregivers join our team. Every care worker undergoes comprehensive screening, including verification of certifications (and their expiry dates), vulnerable sector checks, detailed work history reviews, and validation of driver’s licenses and insurance. In addition, all caregivers carry their own private liability insurance for added peace of mind. Beyond credentials, every team member participates in our proprietary Gentle Graces training, where they are re-trained in our unique standards of care—emphasizing respect, safety, and personalized support. We also conduct regular client surveys, and feedback directly influences the standing of our healthcare professionals. This approach not only ensures continuous improvement but also allows us to celebrate our Gentle Graces superstars, reducing turnover and maintaining a highly motivated, compassionate team.
“Homebound” describes individuals who have significant difficulty leaving their home due to illness, injury, or medical conditions. This may be the result of mobility challenges, recovery needs, or health risks that make travel unsafe or exhausting. Homebound individuals often require support with daily activities or medical care and may be unable to attend appointments or manage tasks outside the home without assistance. Home health care services exist to bring professional support directly to them, ensuring they receive the care they need in a safe and familiar environment.
No, hospitalization is not required to receive home health care. While some individuals transition to home care after a hospital stay, many begin services without any prior hospitalization. Home health care is designed to support a wide range of needs, including chronic condition management, post-surgical recovery, injury rehabilitation, or assistance with daily living. Care plans are personalized to each individual’s circumstances, regardless of hospital history.
