Home Instead Markham

About Us

Home Instead Markham is a locally owned and operated in-home senior care provider serving families across Markham, including Thornhill and Unionville. Founded and operated by the Mitten family, the office was opened out of a genuine desire to help older adults in the community age safely, comfortably, and independently — in the home they love. As part of the world's largest and most trusted home care network, Home Instead Markham offers families the confidence of a globally recognized brand delivered with the warmth and accountability of a locally rooted team that truly knows its community. Caring for an aging loved one can be one of the hardest things a family goes through. Home Instead Markham exists to make that journey easier. Every client is supported by a nurse-led care team — meaning all care is overseen and coordinated by experienced nurses who know each client personally and ensure the right support is always in place. Care Professionals are also trained to assist with select nurse-directed medical services, giving families access to a level of clinical oversight and comprehensive care management that goes well beyond standard in-home care offerings. Available 24/7 and able to move quickly — including same-day hospital discharges — Home Instead Markham is there when families need them most, not days later. Services are tailored to each client's unique situation and span the full range of in-home care needs: companionship, personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication support, mobility assistance, overnight care, respite care, palliative care, hospital-to-home transitional support, and bedside hospital care. Home Instead Markham is also one of the region's most experienced providers of 24-hour and live-in care — a vital option for seniors who need consistent, around-the-clock support in the comfort of their own home. For families navigating Alzheimer's disease or dementia, Care Professionals are trained through Home Instead's Person-Centered Care Training for Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias, a program recognized by the Alzheimer's Association for it's evidence based approach. Home Instead Markham is also a licensed Temporary Help Agency (a requirement to legally operate a home care company) and a proud community partner of a number of non-profits in York Region. Home Instead Markham has been recognized as a Markham Business Excellence Awards finalist and has been featured in both national and local media including Global News and YorkRegion.com. A proud four-time Readers' Choice Award recipient, the office has earned over 70 five-star Google reviews filled with heartfelt testimonials from the families they have had the privilege of supporting — a reflection of the trust and relationships at the heart of everything they do.
