Home help for seniors

Home help for seniors: our five services

Claritas Aînés provides private, non-medical home help for seniors, not home care: senior housekeeping, domestic help, groceries and errands, companionship, and support for family caregivers. Choose a single service or combine them to fit your loved one’s needs; everything is planned with you when we prepare the quote.

Domestic help, not care: what Claritas does not do

Our services are strictly non-medical. For your loved one’s safety, we do not provide:

• medical care or nursing, or any health assessment;
• handling, giving or reminding of medication;
• help with bathing, hygiene or dressing;
• transfers or mobility assistance (lifting, seating or supporting a person);
• overnight supervision.

For these needs, please contact your CLSC or a recognized care provider. For a health question, call 811 (Info-Santé). We can keep taking care of the housekeeping, errands and companionship alongside them.

For families: a practical checklist before the first visit

Are you the son, daughter or relative of an older person? You can make the request for them, schedule visits and, with their consent, receive updates after each visit. Before you start:

• ☐ Talk with your parent first and get their agreement.
• ☐ Pick the priority tasks: cleaning, laundry, errands, companionship.
• ☐ Pick the frequency: weekly, every two weeks or monthly.
• ☐ Explain home access (key, code) and the routines to respect.
• ☐ Say who receives updates after visits, with your parent’s consent.
• ☐ If your parent needs care, help with bathing or with medication, contact the CLSC as well.
• ☐ Keep every invoice for the home-support tax credit for seniors.
