Service options
Pick the ones that matter for your parent when you book. You can choose several, and you can change them next time.
Conversation over tea or coffee
Cards, puzzles, board games and crosswords
A walk around the block, the building or the garden
Reading aloud, letters, photographs and reminiscing
Music your parent grew up with
Gentle memory and conversation activities
Company in their own first language where we can match it
Not every provider offers every option. Once you have chosen, we show you the vetted providers near your parent who offer what you picked, best matches first, with the iCaria Certified badge shown where it has been earned. Which one comes is always your decision, and you can keep asking for the same person.
Who this is for
Parents who live alone, have outlived close friends, or have grown quiet and withdrawn since a bereavement or a move.
Good to know
Loneliness is a health issue, not a luxury. Many families book a standing weekly visit and treat it as seriously as any other appointment.
What it costs
This service starts at $30 in Canadian dollars, which covers getting there and the first part of the visit. Longer visits add a set charge for each extra 15 minutes, with a cap. A short visit is never charged more than the starting price.
That is a sample. Your parent's real price depends on their area and on the options you choose for the service, and you see it in the platform before you confirm anything.
Families also include these in their care plan
Most families do not book one service on its own. They build a monthly care plan, a few services on a regular rhythm, so their parent knows what to expect and the same trusted people keep coming back.
