Maple Care helps families across Canada find independent caregivers, companions and care businesses for a senior at home. Post a free request describing the help, hours and schedule, and professionals in your city can buy your offer and contact you. Your details stay private until then, and you choose who to work with after your own checks.
Free to post. Your contact details stay private.
Professionals on Maple Care offer help for seniors living at home: company and conversation, meals, light housekeeping, errands, rides to appointments, and help with bathing, dressing and moving around. Each professional lists the services they offer and sets their own rates, so read each profile carefully and confirm what they can do.
Describe the help your parent needs, the city, when it should start, how many hours you can guarantee and how many caregivers you need. Posting is free. Your request is shown without your name, address, email or phone number, and matching professionals get an email or text alert about it.
Each request shows a buyer limit: how many professionals may buy it. You set it, with a minimum of 5. We suggest twice the number of people you need, or 5 if you need one caregiver. Professionals also see how many have already bought it.
A professional who buys your offer gets your contact details and reaches out to you. From there, you and the caregiver talk and agree on the work between you.
Our team reviews every account after sign-up, and accounts that pass get a verified badge. Professionals can also upload certifications such as first aid, a PSW certificate or a vulnerable sector check, and each one our team checks earns a badge on their profile. Badges are a useful signal, not a full background check.
Care businesses can also show badges for how many people are on their team and how many clients they serve. Read more on our trust and safety page.
Maple Care does not supervise or manage caregivers and is not a party to your agreement, so the checks are yours to make. Interview each person, call their references and ask for a current vulnerable sector check, the police check for work with seniors, before anyone cares for your parent.
Posting a request is free for families. Professionals pay to buy your offer, and they set their own rates for the work, which you agree with them directly. If you would rather contact a caregiver first, you can buy their offer yourself. The price is always shown before you buy.
See the pricing page for how credits and offers work.
No. Our team reviews every account after sign-up and checks the certifications professionals upload, which is what the badges show. That is a helpful signal, not a full screening. Before anyone cares for your parent, interview them, check their references and ask to see a current vulnerable sector check.
Not before they buy your offer. Requests never show real names, addresses, emails or phone numbers, and your location appears by city only. A professional who buys your offer gets your contact details so they can reach you. If you buy a caregiver's offer, you get theirs.
Yes. Maple Care works in English and French. Mention the language your parent is most comfortable in when you describe the help you need, so professionals know before deciding to buy your offer. When they contact you, confirm the language during the interview.
No. Caregivers and companions usually offer personal support and daily help, not nursing care. Medical tasks are done by nurses, often arranged through the hospital or your family doctor. Ask each caregiver what they can and cannot do, and check the certification badges on their profile.
Yes. Adult children living elsewhere often post requests for a parent. Use your own contact details, choose the city where your parent lives and describe the help they need. Professionals in that city can then see the request and buy the offer to contact you.
Yes. Businesses such as care homes can post requests for the help they need, with the hours they can guarantee and how many people they need. Professionals who buy the offer contact the business directly to discuss the work and agree on terms.
Free to post. Your contact details stay private.
