Contact UsBurlington is a special place where people love to stay as they get older. By 2026, about one out of every three people in Burlington will be over age 55. This means thousands of seniors, from downtown to the Orchard, are looking for ways to stay in their own homes rather than moving to a nursing home.
Most seniors in Burlington want to keep their own routines. They want to keep going to the Burlington Seniors’ Centre on New Street or seeing friends at the local library. At RHRs, we help make that possible. We provide the extra help needed so seniors don’t have to leave their neighbors and places they know. Our care is simple, kind, and professional.


Choosing between a retirement home and staying at home is a big choice. Many local families choose home care for these reasons:
Staying Where it’s Familiar
There is nothing like being in your own home. Being around your own things in neighborhoods like Millcroft or Elizabeth Gardens makes seniors feel safe. Home care lets them keep their morning habits, like having tea by their favorite window or sitting in their own garden.
Staying Out of the Hospital
Burlington’s Joseph Brant Hospital does great work, but everyone wants to stay healthy and out of the hospital. A caregiver helps make sure seniors take their medicine on time and don’t fall. We watch for small changes, like not eating enough, before they become big health problems. This helps seniors stay home and avoid extra trips to the emergency room.
