Home care in Cooksville
Cooksville is one of the oldest parts of Mississauga and one of the densest. A great many of the older people we support here live alone in an apartment or condominium, often on a high floor, often with family in another part of the GTA who assume that because the building has a concierge someone is checking on them. Nobody is.
Towers, and the postwar streets between them
Cooksville is a band of high-rise apartment and condominium towers along Hurontario and Dundas, wrapped around a core of postwar bungalows and small two-storeys on the older side streets. The towers are the defining feature for care: a lift that is out of service, a corridor that is a long walk from the lift, and a resident who has not left the floor in a fortnight. The postwar houses have the more familiar problem of a bathroom upstairs and a laundry in the basement.
How care usually starts in Cooksville
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 Details are generalised and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.
Twenty-two floors up, and not leaving
She had stopped going down to the lobby and had not told anyone. Four hours a day, including one trip outside, changed that within a fortnight.
A lift out of service for four days
He could not manage the stairs and had no one to shop for him. That was the call. Care at five hours a day made the building’s problems stop being his.
Home from the Mississauga Hospital
Discharged mid-afternoon with new medications and a daughter in Scarborough. Care started that day at eight hours daily and reduced over three weeks.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Cooksville 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 Trillium Health Partners — the Mississauga Hospital on Queensway West or Credit Valley Hospital.
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.
Streets and pockets we cover in Cooksville
