Home Instead Markham

As a care provider with Home Instead Markham, my specific role is to provide companionship and assist with the tasks of daily living with seniors.  For many clients, this additional support is very meaningful as it can allow them to remain living in their own home.   Each work assignment is as unique as the senior we work with.  Home Instead begins their involvement with a comprehensive assessment of each clients request and needs.  Based on  this plan of care,  a support team is created and can include both Care Pro (like myself), as well as certified Personal Support Workers (PSW’s) and a Nurse Case Manager.   Home Instead Markham is excellent at promoting a positive and collaborative team work environment.  Consistent support, as well ensuring staff feel appreciated and empowered, is a priority.  They also offer ongoing staff training.  
Home Instead Markham is committed to  providing the very best client experience possible.    They genuinely care about and recognize the value of seniors within our community and treat them with the respect and dignity they so deserve.   
In addition to offering positive social connection to seniors, I have provided practical support in the form of meal preparation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping.    I have found the work to be very meaningful as relationships are built and each senior has had many lived experiences to learn from! 
Overall, my experience has been very positive and I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead Markham as a place to work or for seniors and their families to receive support!

I've had some ups and downs working with home instead. Management and office staff are very friendly and approachable. Hours can be at times unpredictable making the job pretty unreliable if you need it to make ends meet. For a retired/student/part time worker it can be a pretty rewarding job and can help you connect with the community. Some clients that you can be assigned to are very challenging and the $18 that they offer is too low for a psw in those cases. I've loved my time working with home instead as they are very focused on trying to accommodate you and help your career grow. Overall a pretty good place to work.

I am thoroughly enjoying working here. I have learned so much and have experienced substantial growth professionally!

HomeInstead Markham is an amazing place to work. Management is very supportive, provide lots of training, quarterly meetings in addition to training.  Very knowledgeable, coniencious and truly care about their clients and the service they  provide.  Also very concerned that their care providers are well educated, trained and happy with their jobs. Office culture is very important to them.  All this making it easier for the care providers to give their seniors the best service possible.  I would highly recommend working with this organization.  

I am always given the proper instructions and expectations of the client I am handling. Everything is under the sun which means I get help from the company and information is always available. I have learned patience, managing the every day routine of my client and I had fun learning stuffs. The hardest part would probably be getting attached to a patient. Most enjoyable is cooking since I love cooking.  I would recommend Home Instead because employees are taken cared off. 

A typical day at work involves visiting patients, providing personalized support, and adapting to their needs. I've learned the value of flexibility and communication. Management is supportive and encourages feedback. The workplace culture emphasizes teamwork and respect. The hardest part is feeling isolated at times, but the most enjoyable part is building strong relationships with patients and seeing their progress.
