“After my father died, I put my hand on his grave, and said nobody else is going through this alone.”

— Pat Irwin (Founder at Eldercare Canada)

Pat M. Irwin

Founder & President, ElderCareCanada

I bring a deeply personal approach to elder care. After losing my father in 1997 due to inadequate care options, I left a 25-year career on Bay Street to channel that loss into founding ElderCareCanada — vowing that no family would face the same experience if I was by their side.

That mission is at the heart of everything I do. Drawing on my Certified Senior Advisor designation, mediation training, and consulting background, I work compassionately with families to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of aging — covering in-home care, housing, long-term planning, and complex family mediation — always with your loved one's well being at heart.

Mum’s in the hospital, Dad has dementia, and you live 5 hours away. Is this you? We can help.

Family Mediation

Family dynamics can be tested by the responsibilities of elder care, and the most amicable of siblings can clash when contributions of time, attention and money appear to be disproportionate or unappreciated.

We have done hundreds of successful downsizings and moves, and follow a detailed checklist that ensures a smooth transition.
