Living Assistance Services is a family-like business celebrating two decades of outstanding home care service for seniors - family members, elderly relatives and their friends. With this, comes the expertise, experience, and wisdom gained during these years in providing palliative care, home health care, personal caregiver, and senior home care - all a distinct advantage for you when we provide you with care.
After over a decade and a half of outstanding caring for seniors, we have stayed true to our vision. Our vision has been and will remain, to provide first-rate, affordable, safe home care with reliable, conscientious, knowledgeable and kind Personal Support Workers for care recipients and families in need.
Living Assistance Services prides itself on being the first to provide highly personalized care for those who wish to remain where they want to be…at home. We also provide care where anywhere else where assistance is required and have logged more than 1.5 million hours providing care to seniors and others in need since the year 2000.
Our success is primarily due to our exacting standards when it comes to hiring caregivers. Only a very small percentage of caregiver applicants are invited to join Living Assistance Services. This means that our clients benefit from our highly qualified and experienced professionals who are compassionate and intelligent caregivers. Our staff tends to remain with us for years and they are extremely dedicated to the seniors in their care.
It’s no wonder that over 25% of Living Assistance Services clients come from a referral from others who have already experienced or heard about the wonderful caregivers and services provided by Living Assistance Services.
Caregiving for the elderly is a special focus for Brian Porter, the Director, and Owner of Living Assistance Services - Richmond Hill. Brian knows that Richmond Hill "is the best-kept secret in Ontario for seniors who want to live safely, happily and comfortably". His goal is to introduce your family and your elder loved one to a wonderful caregiver who will help you manage day-to-day living in your home in Richmond Hill.
Brian has had a successful and lengthy career in the service sector, first as a high school teacher and head of schools and later as the Director of fundraising and the Director of Alumni Relations in several universities. Effective marketing, business development and public and community relations have been important functions in each of his roles, which have included schools and universities in Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. In Canada, Brian has also served as a director of theatre boards in Calgary and Winnipeg.
Brian’s mission is crystal clear, “At Living Assistance Services, we provide outstanding, safe, trusted, compassionate care for seniors where they want to be as they grow older–happily at home, thereby stressing personalized service from health/care assessments, to care planning, to caregiver services in the Simcoe County.”
Brian knows it isn't easy to invite a stranger into your home. Therefore, his commitment at Living Assistance Services is to introduce your family and you to a wonderful personal caregiver or private nurse as safely and happily as possible. Brian currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Orpheus Choir and is an active member of the Rotary Club of Downtown Toronto. Brian holds three university degrees from Carleton University, McGill University and the University of Toronto. As the population ages in Canada and the ‘grey tsunami’ becomes very real, Brian wants to make it much easier for people to be able to grow older happily and safely with comfort and dignity where they really want to be – in their own homes!
