The Comfort of Home
There’s no place like home. Nothing beats being surrounded by your loved ones and a familiar environment.
One on One Care
Our caregiver spends one on one time with your loved one and treats them with respect and compassion. The caregiver’s priorities are to provide the best comfort, complete care, and they provide 100% of their attention to ensure the absolute best quality care.
Confidence and Comfort
Being in a familiar environment gives your loved one the confidence to participate in daily activities. Being in the comfort of one’s own home also empowers your loved one and makes for a more positive home care experience.
Daily activities don't have to be a burden on you or your loved one. Merida can help individuals lead a more independent life.
