About Daisy A Day & Daisy Acres
 

Jennifer Buchar named her company after the song her grandfather sang on Saturday shopping trips — “Daisy a Day.” That early closeness to family is still the reason the work exists.

She is the owner and director of the Daisy Homecare Network, which has supported people and families in the Barrie community for 15 years. Before that, she spent 21 years providing respite for children with special needs, then helped seniors and families through the hard move from home into retirement living, including work on Victoria Village in Barrie. Alongside that, she spent years making homes safer so people could stay independent for as long as possible.

From those roots came Daisy Acres — four small, boutique-style assisted living homes — and Daisy A Day in-home care. Accessible transportation and Daisy In-Home Blood Services grew next, so clients could get to appointments and complete lab work without leaving the comfort of home. The path now circles back to where she started. The Daisy Youth Development Program supports children, youth, and young adults and their families, bringing back the personal respite and everyday support Jennifer first offered more than twenty years ago.

Through the homes and in-home services, Jennifer and her team provide care that is personal, dependable, and centred on each person’s wishes. Daisy works with people of all ages, offering everyday assistance, support for complex needs, respite, and palliative care in its homes and in the community. For families facing end of life, the team offers comfort, practical help, and a reassuring presence. Daisy has also supported families through medical assistance in dying (MAID) when requested.

Jennifer values open conversations with families about what matters most to them, including their cultural and religious traditions. Her goal is to help each person feel respected and cared for, while giving loved ones the support they need.
