Understanding the service
What is home support?
Home support is a support service for people who need assistance with activities of daily living. Unlike nursing care, which involves medical procedures, home support focuses on essential everyday tasks: washing, dressing, eating, and moving around the home.
This service is provided by care attendants and home support workers trained to assist people with reduced autonomy, seniors, and people living with physical disabilities. The goal is to help each person remain in their own environment for as long as possible, with dignity and safety.
Home support is not limited to technical tasks. Human connection is at the heart of the service. Our attendants take time to understand each person's habits, preferences, and pace to provide support that respects their individuality.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about home support
How much does home support cost in Quebec?
Rates for home support services in Quebec generally range from $40 to $55 per hour for personal assistance care. Total cost depends on visit frequency and level of support required. Tax credits for senior home support (up to 40% in 2026) can significantly reduce the final cost for people aged 70 and over.
Will the same attendant come each time?
Whenever possible, yes. We prioritize continuity by assigning the same attendant from one visit to the next. This stability is essential for building trust, especially with seniors.
What is the difference between home support and nursing care?
Home support concerns assistance with day-to-day activities (bathing, meals, mobility) and is provided by attendants. Nursing care includes medical procedures (injections, wound care, clinical assessment) performed by nurses. Nomade offers both services, and they can be combined according to your needs.
Can we start with only a few hours per week?
Absolutely. Service adapts to your needs. Some people start with a few hours per week for bathing support, then increase frequency over time if needed. There is no rigid minimum.
Is home support available evenings and weekends?
Yes. Our attendants can provide support in the morning, in the evening, on weekends and even on holidays. Schedules are flexible and adapted to your routine.
Does the CLSC also provide this service?
Yes, CLSCs provide home support services, but wait lists are often long and flexibility can be limited (fixed schedules and limited choice of staff). A private service like Nomade provides faster access, a dedicated attendant and schedules adapted to your needs.
