Home care in Stanley Park

Stanley Park was built for young families in the 1960s and 70s, and a striking number of those families never left. The neighbourhood now has one of the older resident profiles in Kitchener, living in the same side-splits they bought new.

Side-splits, and the half-flights inside them

The housing here is overwhelmingly side-split and back-split: four levels connected by five or six half-flights, with the bedrooms up, the family room down and the laundry lower still. It was efficient family housing and it is among the hardest layouts to adapt, because there is no single staircase to put a lift on. The streets are quiet and the shops are a drive, so a licence handed in changes the week completely.

How care usually starts in Stanley Park

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 Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.

Six half-flights in daily use

A knee that had given out and a house that asked her to climb constantly. Care at six hours a day reduced the day to two necessary trips rather than a dozen.

A licence surrendered

Groceries, the pharmacy and the family doctor all became unreachable in the same fortnight. Four hours a day covered every one of them.

A son commuting to Toronto

Out before seven, home after seven, with his father alone in the house all day. Six hours a day covered exactly that window.

What this looks like in practice

Most families in Stanley Park 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 Waterloo Regional Health Network — the Grand River or St. Mary’s General campuses.

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.
