About Home Care in Pickering

Senior home care in Pickering — right where they belong.

Pickering is Durham Region's western gateway, a community of over 102,000 that transitions from the urbanised communities along Kingston Road and the 401 to the rural character of Claremont, Brougham, and the Oak Ridges Moraine in the north. Pickering's lakefront position, the Nautical Village, and proximity to Rouge National Urban Park give it a natural character that many Pickering seniors value deeply — a landscape they have often enjoyed for their entire adult lives.

Pickering's senior population reflects both its established working-class neighbourhoods and the more affluent lakefront communities. The city has a significant South Asian community, particularly in the Bay Ridges and Liverpool areas, as well as Filipino, Caribbean, and South Asian residents who have brought extraordinary vibrancy to this Durham Region city over the past two decades. RoyalCare Health Services serves Pickering's diverse senior population with caregivers matched on cultural background, language, and clinical expertise.

Pickering's proximity to Lakeridge Health Ajax-Pickering Hospital and its position as a community where many seniors have lived for decades — and have no intention of leaving — makes it an ideal fit for RoyalCare's home-first philosophy. We work with families to ensure that changing health needs never require a family to uproot a loved one from the community and the lakefront they love.

Our Durham Region coordinator team serves Pickering with the same responsiveness and quality standards we maintain across all 82 Ontario cities. Most Pickering families have care in place within 48 hours of their initial contact with us.
