Home care in Allandale
Allandale was its own village before Barrie grew around it, and the older streets by the bay still feel that way. The people we care for here have often been on the same street for forty years, watching a commuter city build itself around them.
Older houses on a slope down to the bay
Allandale’s older streets run downhill toward Kempenfelt Bay — early twentieth-century and postwar houses on small lots, with steps up from the pavement, a boxed stair inside and the bathroom on the upper floor. The grade matters: a walk that is pleasant going down to the water is hard work coming back, and in February it is a genuine hazard. The newer subdivisions south and west are flatter and further from anything walkable.
How care usually starts in Allandale
Drawn from real cases in this area. Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.
A slope she could no longer walk back up
She had stopped going down to the bay rather than admit it. Four hours a day covered every trip out, and the walks resumed with someone alongside.
Discharged from RVH to a two-storey
Home after surgery with the only full bathroom upstairs. Care started the same day at eight hours, built around two assisted trips, then reduced.
Both children commuting to Toronto
Out before six, back after seven, with a grandmother alone in the house for twelve hours. Six hours a day covered exactly that window.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Allandale 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 Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre.
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.
