Greg and the team at Selectacare are absolutely fantastic. They are attentive, flexible and caring. Time and time again they have gone the extra mile to make sure our care needs are met. They are clearly doing something right because so many of their caregivers have been with them for years. I highly, highly recommend this agency to anyone in the Toronto area looking for exceptional in-home and in-facility support.

Professional, personal, caring, and an all round outstanding company! if I could give them 6 stars I would. Selectacare will hands down be my only choice when recommending care giving services to friends and family. I will always be so very grateful to my father's caregivers, especially Julie, for giving my father the quality of life he so deserved. "Papa G's" Angels cared for him, laughed with him, sang with him, and made certain he felt loved, and I know in my heart that helped extend his life to the amazing age of 96! God Bless Greg, Linda, Lindsay, and the entire Selectacare team! Thank you
