Our approach
Trust should come
with the details.
The Vetted Senior helps Ontario families figure out what to do next when an ageing parent’s needs change. Clear next steps. Realistic cost planning. Sources you can follow. Local help when you need it.
Public & official resources
Original sources such as Ontario Health atHome, government programs and community organizations. A source link and review date tell you where the information comes from. This is not a private-provider endorsement.
Verified provider facts
Specific facts with evidence: service area, price basis, minimum hours, languages or regulatory records. Verification must say which fact was checked, against what source and when. This layer grows as records meet that standard.
Deeper TVS vetting
A smaller, distinct level requiring documented deeper review. A website, a public listing or an attractive badge cannot establish that a provider has passed this process. Evidence and the scope of review must support the label.
Your parent stays at the centre.
We write for the person organising and researching support. That does not move decisions away from your parent. Their preferences, consent, language, culture and day-to-day priorities belong in every conversation.
A source is a starting point, not a guarantee.
We link to the original service or authority. Dates on the new navigation guides describe when source pages were checked; they are not clinical-review dates. Services, eligibility, prices and availability can change. Confirm them before relying on a plan.
The numbers should show their working.
Our cost planner uses the hours and quotes you enter. Illustrative figures are labelled. We do not turn sample rates into Ontario market averages or assume anyone is entitled to a particular amount of publicly funded care.
Useful information comes before a commercial decision.
Families can read the guides and use the planning tools without an account. Guidance on paying for care is educational. The planning tools do not send your details to a business or sign you up for a sales call.
Read the editorial and financial disclosure.
Tell us when something has changed.
A clear correction is more useful than a vague promise. If you find outdated service details, please send the page and the source that needs checking.
