About Us

Collingwood is fast becoming a retirement haven for many individuals in the senior category. With this change of demographics comes the need for more support services to aid these individuals to live an independent life. Whether you live in your own home or not many people choose not to drive any more. That makes getting around more difficult. One of the services I provide is transportation, whether it be to the airport, the eye specialist, or the grocery store. Need some house cleaning done, provided you have the necessary supplies I will keep your house clean, help with laundry and meal prepping too if that is your desire. If you have lived in your own home a long time perhaps you need help going through things and clearing out excess clutter. I can help you sort and take away the things you are done with. If you would just like a visitor to come and sit with you for a while each week I can do that too. Maybe we could go for a drive and get some fresh air.

Perhaps you are a senior who still drives but when it comes to eye surgery you will need help getting to and from those appointments. I have driven many people to and from appointments and I will make sure you don’t trip and fall.

Maybe you have a family member in a nursing home. Sometimes seniors fall and are taken to hospital but have to find their own way back. This is not the responsibility of the nursing home. Keep my number handy and I can pick them up and transport them back to the nursing facility for you. Seniors also get lonely in nursing homes. Having a regular visitor to take them for walks or do a simple activity with them becomes the highlight of their week. It also helps them to not become depressed and stay more active. Having an independent person monitor them on a regular basis also ensures they are getting adequate care. No one wants their family member to fall victim to neglect. I would be happy to keep you informed of the well being of your family member.

A lot of seniors wish to stay in their own homes until the very end. Respite can be a strain on family members trying to give 24 hr support and care to their loved one. I would be happy to assist you in this and give you the much needed breaks that you need to satisfy the wishes of your loved one. Please feel free to call 705-441-4150 or e-mail (Janis@JanisSeniorServices.ca) anytime if you have questions about my services. My hours are flexible as sometimes the services needed are not accommodated by a 9-5 hr day.
