About Home Care in St. Thomas

Senior home care in St. Thomas — right where they belong.

St. Thomas is Elgin County's county seat, a city of approximately 40,000 with a deep railway heritage — the famous Jumbo the Elephant monument on Talbot Street commemorates the city's most famous historical moment — and a proud, working-class community identity shaped by manufacturing, auto parts, and its role as a regional centre for rural Elgin County. St. Thomas is a city of genuine Ontario small-town character, where community matters and neighbours look out for each other.

St. Thomas's senior population includes many long-established residents of the Talbot Street corridor, the Sunset Drive and Elm Street neighbourhoods, and the communities surrounding the historic downtown. These seniors have deep roots in St. Thomas and Elgin County — many have never lived anywhere else — and their desire to remain in this community as they age is profound. RoyalCare serves St. Thomas families with care that honours this community loyalty.

St. Thomas has a growing South Asian community, reflecting the city's recent manufacturing sector growth, and RoyalCare's language and cultural matching capabilities extend to St. Thomas for seniors from these communities. We also serve the rural communities of Elgin County surrounding St. Thomas, where agricultural families require caregiver services that accommodate the distances and logistics of rural Ontario.

St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital provides acute care for the city and region, and our Elgin County coordinator team coordinates with their discharge planning process. Many St. Thomas seniors also access specialist care at London Health Sciences Centre, and we coordinate across both facilities.
