As our parents age, many of us feel a profound desire to ensure they are well cared for in the comfort of their own home. Aging at home preserves one’s dignity and sense of control over life, especially at the stage in life where your parents’ are experiencing a loss of energy, memory and mobility that their younger selves once had, not so long ago.
Aging at home is a great concept in theory, but when age really creeps up on parents, and they need to find help, at home, to do the everyday, personal mundane tasks that they have always done like dressing, setting their beds, preparing meals, cleaning up after themselves, finding a home support worker to help becomes essential!
But how? What if the parents want to keep living on their own, but need someone to be there, almost all the time, to live with them?
The Importance of Home Support Workers
Challenges in Finding Home Support Workers in Canada
Despite the obvious benefits, finding a suitable home support worker in Canada can be a daunting task. The demand for these professionals outstrips supply, making it difficult to secure reliable and qualified help. Many families find themselves in a position where they need to look beyond Canadian borders to find the right caregiver.
Bringing a Home Support Worker from Abroad
For those unable to find a local home support worker, hiring someone from outside Canada is possible, but involves several steps, including applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). An LMIA is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that allows an employer to hire a foreign worker. It demonstrates that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker is available to do so.
