About Home Care in Peterborough

Senior home care in Peterborough — right where they belong.

Peterborough is a welcoming city of approximately 88,000 in the Kawartha Lakes region, known for its vibrant arts scene, beautiful Trent-Severn Waterway, and a strong sense of community that makes it an exceptional place to grow old. Peterborough has a higher-than-average proportion of seniors relative to its total population, and the city’s community organisations, churches, and social networks have long been a source of support for aging residents.

RoyalCare Health Services provides certified senior in-home care across Peterborough and the surrounding Peterborough County, supporting families in the downtown core, the east and west ends, Monaghan, and the city’s many established residential neighbourhoods. Our Peterborough caregivers understand the close-knit character of this community — and the importance of matching seniors with caregivers who share that warmth.

Many Peterborough families care for aging parents across multiple generations of the same home or community. RoyalCare’s respite care services are particularly valued in Peterborough — giving family caregivers the regular breaks they need to sustain long-term caregiving without burning out, while ensuring their loved one receives consistent, professional support during those breaks.

Whether your loved one needs a few hours of companionship each week, specialist dementia care, or around-the-clock live-in support, RoyalCare provides the full spectrum of in-home care services in Peterborough — at competitive local pricing, with no contracts, and with a coordinator you can always reach directly.
