Pioneering Compassionate In-Home Care for Seniors

Established in 2003 as a Canadian unit of a USA-based home care franchise, Live Life Well has been dedicated for two decades to facilitating the delivery of high-quality care to residents across the Halton, Hamilton, and Brant regions. 20 years later, we stand as a forward-thinking, independently operated home care agency recognized for providing outstanding solutions that empower our clients to age comfortably in their homes for an extended period.

Founded 40 years ago by Brian Cantwell, Live Life Well has been at the forefront of in-home care, offering a heartfelt alternative to long-term care facilities. Brian Cantwell's passion for assisted living and the profound benefits of compassionate care drove him to establish the company. His vision was to enable seniors and people with disabilities to enjoy a high quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.

Live Life Well has focused on providing personalized, one-on-one home care assistance, embodying its mission to make at-home living a sustainable and enjoyable option throughout one's lifetime. The company has consistently prioritized the well-being of its clients, employing skilled in-home caregivers for seniors to ensure that each individual receives the highest standard of care.

Over the years, Live Life Well has grown from a labor of love into a beacon of support for communities, never straying from its founding principles of quality care, compassion, and dedication to enhancing the lives of those it serves.
