What does in-home care include?

Support That Fits Life at Home

In-home care includes practical, personalized support that helps a person continue living comfortably and confidently in their own home. At Infinity Healthcare, care is built around each client’s routines, preferences, goals, and changing needs. The focus is on supporting independence, dignity, and personal choice while giving families greater peace of mind.

Services can be arranged for a few hours, overnight, around the clock, or on a short- or long-term basis. A personalized care plan may include one service or a combination of supports, depending on what is most helpful for the individual and family.

  • Personal care and daily routines: respectful assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility, and morning or evening routines. Learn more about personal care.
  • Home support: help with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, errands, medication reminders, and keeping the home organized and comfortable. Explore home support services.
  • Companionship and community connection: friendly conversation, shared activities, walks, accompaniment to appointments or outings, and support with maintaining familiar social routines.
  • Family caregiver support: respite care can give family caregivers time to rest, attend commitments, or recharge while their loved one receives consistent, reliable in-home support. See respite care options.
  • Dementia, palliative, and complex-care support: calm, person-centered assistance that promotes comfort, routine, familiarity, and dignity, in coordination with the client, family, and relevant healthcare professionals.

In-home care is not one-size-fits-all. Some people need occasional help with daily tasks, while others benefit from ongoing or 24/7 support. Infinity Healthcare’s trusted and trained caregivers work with clients and families to adapt care as circumstances change. As an accredited home care provider serving Edmonton and surrounding communities, we aim to make it easier to age on your terms because home is where life happens.
