Many Torbay households include someone who has lived in the same home for forty years and has no intention of leaving. Private home care exists to make that realistic. Z Home Care may provide services in Torbay, including suitable home visits and companionship or accompaniment requests, subject to caregiver availability and travel feasibility.
Support available
- Personal care with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and daily routines.
- Companionship — a dependable presence, conversation, a walk, a hobby, a cup of tea.
- Accompaniment to appointments, community activities, faith services and family occasions.
- Homemaking, laundry, dishes, tidying and bed linens.
- Meal preparation using familiar recipes and documented preferences.
- Respite for family caregivers, occasionally or on a regular schedule.
- Non-clinical dementia support and non-clinical hospital-to-home support.
Scope limits
We are a non-clinical provider. Nursing procedures, injections, wound care, catheter care, IV care, medical treatment and medication administration are outside our scope. Medication reminders may be part of the agreed care plan. If a client's needs become medical or unsafe, we explain that clearly and encourage referral to a qualified clinical provider.
Travel, weather and scheduling
Torbay is close enough to St. John's to be practical, but travel feasibility still shapes what we can commit to. Winter conditions on the Northeast Avalon can affect timing on any given day. Regular, predictable blocks are the most reliable to staff, and we let families know as early as possible when a visit has to be adjusted.
Cost
The standard rate is $32 per hour with a three-hour minimum booking — $96 per visit before any applicable tax. Evening and weekend visits are charged at the same published standard rate, subject to availability. Tax treatment is confirmed in writing before the first invoice, and no long-term contract is required.
Starting service
Call 709-800-7385 or complete the inquiry form. If the request is suitable, we arrange a free in-home assessment with no obligation to proceed, then build a personalized care plan around the routine, preferences, home environment, family involvement and non-clinical safety needs. Where scheduling permits, the caregiver is introduced before regular visits begin.
Nearby communities
We also serve St. John's, Mount Pearl, Paradise and Conception Bay South.
