2025 Home Readiness Guide for In-Home Care

When do you know it’s time to plan? The answer: long before a crisis happens.

Families in Mississauga and Brampton often wait until something goes wrong before seeking support for their aging parents , a fall, hospitalization, or sudden decline. But proactive care avoids those emergencies.

That’s where the 40-70 Rule comes in:

If you’re 40 and your parent is 70, it’s time to start planning for support at home.
Not because things are bad
but because keeping them good requires prevention.

Why “Home Readiness” Matters

A home may look safe…
but for a senior whose balance, memory, or confidence is changing, danger hides in the everyday:

• Rugs become tripping hazards
• Stairs feel like a mountain
• Medications get forgotten
• Meals get skipped
• Nights get restless

A home readiness review allows families to support independence before it slips away.

Small changes now = big protection later.
