A Personal Mission: Supporting Youth, Seniors, and Families
Friend And Me Inc. is not a typical home healthcare agency. Inspired by a personal journey of caregiving, our team provides respectful, high-integrity in-home assistance to youth, adults, seniors, and families throughout Barrie, Wasaga Beach, Innisfil, Orillia, Huntsville, Aurora, Bradford West Gwillimbury, and Muskoka. Our personalized approach is built around meaningful relationships, with every visit lasting at least one hour to allow for genuine connection and attentive support. From meal preparation and daily wellness checks to companionship and long-term palliative care, we tailor our services to each person's unique needs. Local families receive updates through an in-home Communication Book, while out-of-town loved ones receive detailed email reports after every shift. Led by Koral Wilson, whose 27 years as a hairstylist and 11 years in senior health helped shape our foundation, we treat every client as a partner in their independence, dignity, and well-being. Our goal is to replace anxiety and burnout with trust, transparency, and compassionate support that brings comfort and joy to every client.
