Keeping you home and engaged for longer...

Our staff are specially trained to deliver comprehensive and tailored support, enabling you to continue to maintain an active and socially engaging lifestyle. With AQ @ Home you will feel empowered, valued, connected, and independent.

AQ also provides programs and allied health services including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, music therapy, and more. Our one-on-one and group services are tailored to meet your individual needs and provide practical knowledge, skills, treatment, and programs.
