About Us
Why We Exist
Deacon & Alec was born from a personal experience that changed the way our Founder understands care.
When our Founder was young, his father suffered a workplace accident that left him unable to walk or work. During his recovery at home, a community home-based care aide provided wound care and day-to-day support.
It was during this period that his father experienced a minor stroke. A few weeks later, he suffered a major stroke that required several days in intensive care.
The months that followed brought a new reality for the family. Recovery depended on the consistent involvement of family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals — all working together to support his needs at home.
That experience revealed a challenge faced by many families: quality home-based care can be difficult to coordinate, difficult to access, and overwhelming to manage alone.
Care Inspired by Family
Deacon & Alec is named in honour of our Founder's late father.
His journey became the inspiration behind our mission: to ensure that families do not have to navigate recovery, chronic illness, disability, or long-term care alone.
We bring together trusted healthcare professionals, structured care protocols, and coordinated home-based support to help families access quality healthcare in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Because home should not mean compromising on the quality of care.

Our Motto
"Delivering quality and timely healthcare, at your convenience."
We believe great healthcare is more than clinical expertise.
