Companionship for your loved one

Your parent deserves more than
just getting by.

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.

Simple from the first call.

We take care of the matching, the scheduling, and the peace of mind. You take care of your family.

01

Tell us about your loved one

We start with a warm phone conversation — their personality, their interests, their daily rhythms. The more we know, the better the match.

02

We introduce the right companion

We hand-pick a companion whose personality genuinely complements your parent. We then arrange a no-pressure home introduction.

03

Weekly visits begin

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.

A real companion, not a checklist.

We're not a care agency — we're a companion service. Our visits look like what a good friend does.

A proper cup of tea
Sitting down, slowing down, and actually talking. Conversation is underrated medicine.
🚶
A walk at their pace
Even a short walk around the block does wonders for mood, sleep, and physical health.
🛒
Grocery shopping together
Not just getting the groceries done — enjoying the outing, making choices, feeling capable.
🃏
Cards, puzzles & games
Cribbage, Scrabble, chess, crosswords — whatever they love. Mental engagement matters.
🏥
Doctor's appointments
Someone calm and present in the waiting room and in the appointment if needed.
📺
Watching TV together
The same show is completely different when you can talk about it. Company transforms everything.

Important: We do not provide personal care (bathing, dressing, medication management). We are a social companionship service.

The calls home changed.

James K., Edmonton
Son of client, age 79

"We live three provinces away. Knowing someone warm and trustworthy is with Grandpa twice a week has genuinely reduced our family's anxiety."

Priya S., remote family
Granddaughter of client, age 85
