Who needs a caregiver?

For many Canadian families, a live-in caregiver helps reduce the stress in their lives. Far from being a luxury, an in-home caregiver offers peace of mind in fast-paced lives.

The professional live-in caregivers offered through Stewart's Caregivers are a stress-free solution for:

Two-career families with children
Middle-aged baby boomers who need care for aging parents while still supporting their own children
Seniors who need help to maintain their health and independence
People recovering from serious illness, accidents or surgery
Physically or mentally disabled Canadians who require help
Individuals with chronic physical or mental illness, including age-related dementia.
