Home care in Couchiching
The streets around Couchiching Point hold Orillia’s older lakeside housing and a substantial retired population, a good part of it people who once came up for the summer and eventually stayed. Their adult children are usually in the GTA.
Cottages that became houses
Much of the housing along Couchiching Point and the streets behind it began as seasonal property and has been lived in year round for decades. That brings a particular set of problems: a step down into every room, thin walls, a slope or steps down to the water, and roads that are last on the plough list. Closer to downtown the housing is older brick and postwar bungalow, flatter inside but with the usual boxed stairs and basement laundries.
How care usually starts in Couchiching
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 Details are generalised and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.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 dock she was not giving up
The slope down to the water was the reason she had stayed and the reason she had fallen. Care at five hours a day kept the dock in her life and took the risk out of it.
Discharged from Soldiers’ Memorial
Home on a Friday afternoon with limited mobility and family two hours south. Care started that day at eight hours and reduced across three weeks.
A father who had stopped driving
Outside the downtown core that meant everything stopped at once. Four hours a day restored the groceries, the appointments and the company together.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Couchiching 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 Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, with tertiary care in Barrie or Toronto.
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.
