our services
We started our company with 2 clients, both with different care needs. We have slowly expanded our services based on our clients needs. With that being said, we provide adequate classroom training followed by On-The-Job training by a competent supervisor to ensure we provide you with the best possible care and safety!
Qualified home care staff & home care aides
We believe the best staff and the best home care aides have hands on experience in both office management and home care.
Our office staff come with decades of office management skills with various industry backgrounds.
Our home care aides are fully trained by their supervisor to provide competent care in your home.
You can expect 2 care aides (1 supervisor and 1 care aide) to be with you until your care schedule is understood by the full time care aide. During this period, we perform On-The-Job Training to ensure the care aide is performing all the tasks with IHSAN (excellence). We aim to provide you with the utmost respect and dignity, compassion and care, knowing full well that Allah is always watching…we all love pleasing Allah as much as we fear displeasing Him and know we are held accountable on the Day of Judgement for all our own deeds, both good and bad. Alhamdulillah
Our belief in allah & acting with ihsan
From an Islamic perspective, character and manners are comprehensive. In other words, one must have the proper behavior and actions with respect to his Creator, with respect to his own soul, with respect to the others he interacts with, with respect to the other beings on earth and with respect to all parts of creation. This embodies having the proper relationship with Allah and submitting to Him in a sincere fashion with a correct attitude.
Indeed, he will be answerable to Allah concerning his behavior towards all things. Everything in this creation that has been put at the disposal of humankind is nothing more than a trust from Allah.
Memory care
Older adults usually worry about memory loss and other abilities, such as the time it takes to learn something new. These changes are usually signs of mild forgetfulness — or age-related forgetfulness — and are often a normal part of aging.
However, more serious memory problems could be due to mild cognitive impairment, dementia such as Alzheimer’s and other factors beyond normal aging.
Our goal is to provide daily activities that engage the brain in interactive games that the client enjoys. These may be word searches, matching games, card games, video games, really anything that interests the client is encouraged.
We also encourage the client to use their memory for upcoming appointments or activities, to exercise the short term memory, which becomes impaired most often with aging.
meal preparation
As mentioned, we place our care aides who have the same language, culture, ethnicity and religious beliefs as our clients. What better way to prepare your meals than how you grew up. We employ Canadian born, and many immigrants to Canada from Somalia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Palestine, Philipines, Pakistan and India to name a few.
Discover the difference Ihsan In~Home Care will make. You decide what is made for your meals, you provide the ingredients and our care aides will prepare it just as you remember!

Our care aides are experienced with using D.A.T.S., public transportation, taxi cabs, or simply assisting the client with walking with their walker or with their cane.
Our care aides are fully trained on utilizing patient lifts, and lifting slings to competently place the client in their wheelchair or commode.
Our clients’ safety and enjoyment is of utmost importance to us. You can rest assured we will encourage outings daily, weather permitting. And you will no longer miss important appointments as we will ensure you get there safe and sound and on time!
Medication assistance
Part of healing is taking medication. This may be new for you or your loved one and taking them on time regularly may be difficult.
Our care aides are sure to give medication at the prescribed time, as prescribed such as with or without food. And will ensure to notify the client and/or the clients’ family/representative about any changes in their health.
We highly recommend using the pharmacy bubble pack for multiple medications to ensure the correct dose, and the correct time of dose are pre-established for both the care aide and for the client.
This establishes a system to notice if a dose has been missed by the client and to report it to the doctor if necessary.
respite care
The client most likely has a family member or close friend who will take care of their needs outside of home care hours. Typically, the care aide will be in the home a minimum of 2 hours up to 12 hours/day, depending on the clients’ AHS care plan and health needs.
If you are the caregiver of your loved one, you need to ensure you take care of your health so you are able to take care of the one(s) who are relying on you.
Most care plans include respite hours for the caregiver and can be used at their discretion.
Rest assured your loved one will be in good hands while you get some much needed “Me” Time!
companionship
Everyone needs social connections to survive and thrive. But as we age, theywe often find ourselves spending more time alone. Being alone may leave seniors more vulnerable to loneliness and depression, which can affect their health and well-being.
We have care aides who can schedule a social visit with you or your loved one. Get to know each other and spend time doing what the client enjoys, be it going for a walk, or to a coffee shop, reciting Qur’an together, telling stories from their younger days and sharing memories…whatever the client feels like doing is what we intend to provide.
Perhaps it may be an outing to visit a relative who is in hospital or simply need to run some errands together. Having someone to be by their side will make a huge difference in how they feel.
light housekeeping
Who does not like a clean and tidy home? Our care aides are fully trained to perform light housekeeping such as vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, dishes, laundry, bathroom tidyup, washing the floors, wiping counters, cleaning mirrors, all the basic cleaning tasks that may have become to daunting to the client.
If a deep clean is required, we can also arrange this with a local cleaning company of your choice. You decide what you want to pay and we will help you get the right fit to get the job done!
