A Personal Mission: Assisting Our Young Adults and Aging Population

Friend And Me Inc. is not a typical home healthcare agency. Inspired by a personal journey of caregiving, our team delivers respectful, high-integrity in-home assistance to seniors throughout Barrie, Wasaga Beach, Innisfil, Orillia, Huntsville, Aurora, Bradford West Gwillimbury, and Muskoka. Our approach is unique: every visit is at least one hour, allowing for genuine connection and thorough support from meal preparation and daily wellness checks to companionship and long-term palliative care. Local families receive updates in an in-home Communication Book, while out-of-town loved ones get detailed email reports after every shift. Led by Koral Wilson, whose 27 years as a hairstylist and 11 years in senior health form our foundation, we treat every senior as a partner in their independence. Our goal: to replace anxiety and burnout with trust, transparency, and care that brings joy to every senior.

Our Identity: Care Rooted in Dignity

Friend And Me Inc. was established as a high-integrity alternative to high-volume, impersonal agencies in the Ontario corridor. We operate on a deeply personal mandate to restore honor to the aging population. By focusing on a relationship-centric model, we prioritize the preservation of senior independence and treat every client as a valued individual, never just a transaction.
