Palliative Care
by Daisy a Day
Daisy Acres provides compassionate palliative support in Toronto, Barrie and Simcoe County for individuals and families facing a difficult time. Care is available at home or in one of our small residential settings, with a focus on comfort, dignity and peace of mind.
We work closely with the palliative care team at Ontario Health atHome to help coordinate support that respects each family’s wishes and priorities. Our team assists with daily needs such as personal care, meal preparation and companionship, while keeping open communication with families about comfort and changing needs.
When it is the wish of the person and their family, and care can still be provided safely in a home-like setting, a loved one may stay with us through the later stages of illness — including end of life. Palliative care does not automatically mean a move to hospice. Residential hospice is a specialized option, usually considered when a person meets hospice-level criteria and that setting is the better fit. Until then, many families want one calm, familiar place, with support that can increase as needs change. If a different setting later becomes more appropriate, we help coordinate that next step with the palliative team.
Family input is welcomed and respected. We understand the emotional weight families carry, and we work to make each day as calm and positive as possible for both the resident and those who care about them.

When the Path Changes
Daisy A Day Home Care, What can I say, this is "Heaven On Earth"? No schedules, no rules and definitly no feeling of institutionalization. My mom Erna passed away on September 11th 2017. Erna had spent some time in Daisy A Day Home Care in April and from June 1st until her passing.I was introduced to Daisy A Day Home Care in February of this year. I had the pleasure and honour to meet the Owner/Operator of Daisy A Day Home Care, Jennifer Buchar. I can honestly say it has been a delightful and most honourable experience to have met this most compassionate, caring and loving woman.
​​At Daisy it's that home feeling that is eluded throughout the entire house, one feels like a part of Jennifer's family, everyone is treated with the utmost love, respect and kindness.​ I cannot express how I feel having placed my mom in the care of all the staff who work at Daisy. They are by far deserving of such gratitude and praise. I know my mom loved being at Daisy, she felt safe, comfortable and loved and I too felt totally content that I chose such an amazing and happy place for my mom.
​I know that my mom is looking down on me and says :Thank you my daughter" you made a great decision for me, I have no regrets, except that I truly wished I had found Daisy a Day Home Care much earlier so, my mom could have had a longer time at Daisy.
​
Thank you Daisy A Day Home Care for making my mom's last days on this earth the most loving and caring, it has been a pleasure and honour to have worked with everyone at this incredible and amazing place.
Love to all from Liz and Erna
