Home care in Agincourt
Agincourt has one of the largest Chinese-Canadian senior populations in the country, and a great many multigenerational households where three generations share one house. Care here has to fit into that, not around it — which usually means language first, and a caregiver who understands that the household has its own way of doing things.
Split-levels and back-splits, full to capacity
Most of Agincourt was built between the late 1950s and the 1970s: back-splits, side-splits and two-storeys on Sheppard, Brimley, Midland and the streets between. They have four or five half-flights between the lowest and highest level, which is the exact layout that fails first when someone cannot manage stairs. Many now house three generations, with a grandparent on the lower level and the family above, and the basement is where a great deal of daily life happens.
How care usually starts in Agincourt
Drawn from real cases in this area. Details are generalised and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.
A grandmother on the lower level
Five half-flights between her room and the kitchen where the family ate. Care at five hours a day was built around getting her up for meals rather than leaving her downstairs.
Care that had to be in Cantonese
She was courteous to every English-speaking worker and did none of what was asked. A Cantonese-speaking caregiver made the arrangement work immediately.
Discharged from Birchmount
Home on a Thursday after a fall, into a back-split with both working parents out until evening. Care started that day at eight hours daily and settled at five.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Agincourt start with four to eight hours of care a day. Care usually begins within a day of the first call, and the same day where someone is coming out of hospital — typically Scarborough Health Network — the Birchmount or General sites.
We support people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, ALS, paraplegia and reduced mobility, people recovering from a stroke or a fall, and older adults who simply need help to manage the day. In almost every case above the outcome was the same: the person stayed in their own home and received their care there.
