Here’s what the owner of our “test home”, had to say:

“They were great!  The Matt and Ty were attentive to their work, respectful, and went out of their way to make sure I was thrilled with the job. What’s more,  I felt very comfortable with them in my home. I would highly recommend their service.”

What's even better is that our new customers love the service.  In an industry where a large proportion of people participate in group buying programs just for the specials, customer retention is one of the biggest challenges. So we are very proud indeed to enjoy a 60% retention rate – that's well above the average.

Our experience – and your satisfaction – has led us to try a group coupon campaign again.  Keep your eyes on TeamBuy and Couvon for future Island Home Care specials, featuring our new service, the Exterior Clean Team!

Golf Fore The Cure is part of a larger fundraising initiative started by Golf Canada to drive women’s interest in golf, and at the same time raise money for a disease that affects many women and their families. According to the website, “Golf Fore the Cure is all about using the sheer power of women playing the game of golf to make a difference. This is the chance for volunteers across the country to help raise money and assist in a very worthy cause that is close to many women across the country – the fight against breast cancer.”

Elise, Andrea, Donna, Jocelyn and the rest of the Island Home Care team are taking donations all month in anticipation of this event.

Many thanks to all those who are supporting us!

Regardless of financial situation, the citizens of Vancouver Island are able to choose their own Doctor, Dentist, Physiotherapist, Massage Therapist, Chiropractor and even Child Care Provider; parents in need of a subsidy for Child Care are entitled to choose their own provider, with no restriction. Why then, is the same choice not easily available to those in need of Home Care?

After much investigation we have found the loophole in the system that allows you to choose your own care. We will help you, while we continue to fight for a change. This does not mean you have to choose Island Home Care; the point is, you have a choice and we are happy to help you whether you use our services or chose to go elsewhere.

In the meantime, if exercising your choice in home care is important to you, we invite you to to read and sign our petition. We must let our Minister of Health know that we deserve the right to choose our home care providers. With your help, we can create a better home care system for the future which will benefit our loved ones and ourselves.
