Where do you offer care?
Retreat: The Alma Retreat is nestled within the Kimpton St George Hotel in Yorkville, Toronto (Bloor & St George).
In-Home: We bring the Alma experience to the comfort of your home, currently serving communities in the GTA+ including Toronto, Durham Region, Halton Region, Peel Region, York Region, Dufferin County, and Simcoe County. If your family is outside these areas but near the Greater Toronto Area, please reach out; we may be able to arrange an experience for you.
Is the start date be flexible to accommodate the baby delivery date?
Our team works with your timelines. We ensure that you have room at the retreat to check in early or that your care team is prepared to support you at home when you arrive. If a conflict arises with your planned care, we’ll provide suitable options to support your family through a team approach.
Is Alma covered by benefits?
We encourage you to speak with your benefits provider to confirm what you might be covered for through your HSA, Wellness Account, and Extended Health Benefits. We will provide an itemized receipt you can submit to your provider at the end of your stay.
Can you accomodate pets?
During the intake process we identify specifics around the household dynamics, inclusive of pets. We'll be sure to provide care team options who are comfortable with fur babies and in some instances can arrange for a pre-meeting in person to ensure everyone gets to know one another before baby arrives.
Can we discuss our schedule & individual needs before we finalize a plan?
During the initial consultation, we will discuss your birth and postpartum plans, inclusive of family dynamics, existing schedules, commitments and support structure. We'll recommend a schedule that works best for you and will revisit prior to care commencing, to ensure that any changes to the plan are reflected in the schedule. Once baby arrives, we know that even more changes occur and can work with you to adjust your schedule to ensure that your care is optimized.
