Companionship for your loved one
Hearthside matches warm, caring companions with elderly Canadians for weekly visits — a cup of tea, a walk, a game of cards. Not a care agency. Just a trusted friend who shows up.
We take care of the matching, the scheduling, and the peace of mind. You take care of your family.
We start with a warm phone conversation — their personality, their interests, their daily rhythms. The more we know, the better the match.
We hand-pick a companion whose personality genuinely complements your parent. We then arrange a no-pressure home introduction.
Visits happen on a schedule your family chooses. After each visit, you receive a brief note. You stay connected without having to be there every day.
We're not a care agency — we're a companion service. Our visits look like what a good friend does.
Important: We do not provide personal care (bathing, dressing, medication management). We are a social companionship service.
"Within three weeks of Sarah starting, Dad was calling me to tell me what they'd talked about. He hadn't initiated a call in months."
"Mum looks forward to Wednesdays now. She actually gets dressed up. That might sound small but it means the world to us."
"We live three provinces away. Knowing someone warm and trustworthy is with Grandpa twice a week has genuinely reduced our family's anxiety."
"I was skeptical about 'paying for a friend,' but the first visit changed my mind. My dad talked for four hours. Happy in a way I hadn't seen in two years."
