Home care in Painswick
Painswick is south Barrie, and it is where a great many families moved when they left the GTA. A good number brought a parent with them, or had one follow later. That is the pattern behind most of the calls we take here.
New subdivisions built on the assumption of stairs
Painswick, Innis-Shore and the streets around Big Bay Point are almost entirely detached two-storeys and townhouses built since the 1990s. Living space on the main floor, every bedroom and full bathroom above it, a basement below, and a garage that is the only practical way in and out. The shops are a drive. It is comfortable housing built for people with good knees and two cars, and it becomes difficult very quickly when either of those changes.
How care usually starts in Painswick
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 Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.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 parent brought north with the family
She left a neighbourhood she had known for fifty years for a house where she knew nobody and could walk nowhere. Five hours a day rebuilt a week that involved leaving it.
Twelve hours alone
Both parents commuting to Toronto and a father with early dementia. Six hours a day covered the middle of the day, and the household held together.
A three-storey townhouse after a fall
Garage below, kitchen in the middle, bedrooms above. Care at six hours a day planned around two assisted trips rather than a move.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Painswick 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.
