Our Story

Caregiver providing in-home senior care in Burlington Ontario

Senior Support Care began with a simple idea.. that care should feel personal. Our founders saw how hard it was for families to find reliable, compassionate support for their loved ones, and they wanted to change that. What started as a small circle of caregivers serving a few local families has grown into a trusted home care agency known for its consistency, warmth, and heart-centered approach.

Meet The Managers

Melanie, Annabelle, and Raquel form the heart of our coordination and client support team at Senior Support Care. Together, they oversee day-to-day scheduling, caregiver training, and family communication to ensure every client receives seamless, personalized care. They act as the bridge between caregivers, clients, and families offering guidance, compassion, and clear communication at every step. Whether they’re onboarding new caregivers, responding to family updates, or checking in on clients, their shared goal is to make every interaction feel supported, consistent, and deeply human.
