Professional Home Care With a Professional Touch
Our agency was founded on the principle that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Led by Executive Director Josie Viquiera, CPCA, and Director of Care Chris Viquiera, R.N. CPMHN©, Evolve Home Care is built on a foundation of clinical excellence and personal empathy. Josie’s dedication to senior welfare began as a role model in her family, caring for her ill grandmother. This early experience inspired her to impact the quality of life for families in our community.
Chris Viquiera brings a robust clinical background to our health programs. As a Registered Nurse for 20 years with specialized experience in nephrology (kidney health), he understands the critical link between diabetes and long-term organ health. His personal experience caring for his elderly father, who faced renal failure, ensures that our approach to Diabetic Care Kingston is both medically sound and deeply compassionate.
The Importance of Specialized Support in Ontario
When you choose our specialized services, you are opting for a proactive health strategy. We don’t just react to problems; we work to prevent them through:
Routine Glucose Monitoring: Assisting clients in checking their levels as prescribed.
Symptom Awareness: Training our caregivers to recognize the early signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
Communication: Keeping family members and healthcare providers informed of any significant changes in health status.
Why Evolve Home Care is the Leader in Diabetic Care in Kingston
Families choose us because we combine the high standards of a medical facility with the warmth of a family-run business. Our vision is to become the top provider of personalized care in Kingston, Ontario, and we achieve this by prioritizing client safety in everything we do:
Continuity of Care: We believe in matching clients with a consistent caregiver to build trust and ensure that small changes in health are noticed immediately.
RN Oversight: Having a Registered Nurse as our Director of Care means someone with 20 years of professional medical experience oversees our Diabetic Care Kingston.
Comprehensive Services Tailored to Your Needs
We recognize that no two individuals experience diabetes in the same way. Our Diabetic Care Kingston begins with a free in-home consultation with a nurse to assess medical history, daily routines, and budget. Our suite of services includes:
Nutritional Support and Meal Preparation
Our caregivers assist with grocery shopping and prepare balanced meals that focus on low-glycemic foods to help stabilize blood sugar. This is a core component of effective Diabetic Care Kingston
Medication Reminders and Management
Under the guidance of our RN-led team, we ensure that insulin injections and oral medications are taken at the correct times. Proper timing is crucial for the success of any wellness plan.
Foot and Skin Care
Diabetes can lead to reduced circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy). Our caregivers perform daily checks for cuts, blisters, or swelling that the client may not feel. This preventive aspect of Diabetic Care Kingston is essential for avoiding infections and more serious complications.
Safe Personal Transportation
Attending regular check-ups with endocrinologists and family doctors is vital. We provide safe, reliable transport to and from medical appointments across the city, ensuring you never miss a critical health review.
Supporting the Whole Family
A diabetes diagnosis doesn’t just affect the patient; it affects their loved ones. Many family members find themselves stressed by the constant worry of their parents’ blood sugar dropping or a wound not healing. Our Diabetic Care Kingston provides essential respite, allowing family members to return to their roles as daughters, sons, or spouses while we handle the technical aspects of care.
We work side by side with your existing healthcare team to ensure everyone is satisfied and the care plan is followed accurately. This collaborative spirit is what makes our assistance so effective for long-term wellness.

What are our clients saying about us?
I just want to thank you for the excellent Home Care Service in providing such consistently top-notch caregivers, sometimes on very short notice.
Our loved one’s personal care needs are complex, but from the very beginning we have felt that he is in safe and caring hands. The level of dedication and commitment they show to his well-being is truly unmatched.
The care increased as my parents’ capacity and ability to care for themselves diminished. I was always impressed and grateful for the efficient and non-judgmental way the helpers handled the difficulties that came with aging.

What Diabetic Care Support at Home Covers
Managing diabetes is a daily job with very little margin. Support at home takes the parts that get unsafe to do alone.
What we help with
- Glucose monitoring at the intervals the plan prescribes
- Recognising the early signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
- Medication reminders and insulin support where nursing is involved
- Wound and foot care, and watching for circulation problems
- Meal planning and preparation around dietary requirements
- Keeping family and healthcare providers informed of significant changes
Diabetes situations that need extra hands
- Numbers swinging and the person has stopped testing properly
- A foot wound or an infection nobody is watching closely
- Vision or dexterity making insulin drawing up unreliable
- A stroke or amputation that has changed what self-care takes
Diabetic Care at Home — The Questions That Matter
Can home care handle blood sugar testing and insulin?
Testing and monitoring are core home care tasks. Where insulin administration or a clinical decision is involved, that sits with a nurse rather than a support caregiver, and the care plan says clearly who does what.
What happens when a reading is dangerous?
Caregivers are trained to spot the early signs of a low or a high and to act on them, and our nurses guide what the response should be. Significant changes get reported to the family and the healthcare providers, not quietly written off.
Does diet support come with diabetic care?
Yes. Meal planning and preparation are part of the service, which matters a great deal when cooking for a diabetic diet is the hardest meal of the day to get right.
Who watches for foot and wound problems?
The nursing side of the plan. Regular checks and dressing changes catch circulation and wound issues early, which is the entire point of diabetic foot care.
