MF Homecare is an app that lets families book senior companions in Toronto directly, without the need for an agency.
Major life events like retirement, friends and family moving or losing someone often result in social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Companions can help fill the gaps for those who find themselves living alone in their later years with less interaction with the outside world.
But here’s the problem: traditional agencies will try to find a good match for you, which can take time or miss the mark. Our platform puts the choice and control back into your hands so you can choose who you spend your time with.
Unlike agencies, MF Homecare does not tie you to a recurring service or a singular companion. Our self-serve app lets you browse, choose and schedule companionship services on your terms – whether it’s a once-in-a-while need or weekly social visits.
View available companion profiles and read their past reviews. Re-book the same person or swap them out on the next appointment. It’s entirely up to you!
Pick the date and time, every time. See who’s available on that day or view your favourite companion’s availability. You can find someone on the same day or up to 3 months in advance.
See when your companion is arriving in real time. Family members can use the in-app chat to organize details, relay information or request updates for total peace of mind.
Connect with your elderly in-home caregiver in the app’s private chat where you can discuss key details before, during and after each appointment.

When there’s low overhead, no third-party company and independent caregivers, the end result is cost savings for you. Caregivers and Companions have separate hourly rates, making non-medical help more affordable than ever.
Every caregiver on the MF Homecare app is self-employed. They choose the types of care they want to provide along with their service areas and hourly rates. And that results in happy professionals who enjoy their work and are eager to help families just like yours.
