My father is in the hospital and will be in there for a while. How can you help?

A member of our clinical team will contact you and discuss your specific needs when he is discharged. In all likelihood, he will require the service of a personal support worker and not necessarily registered staff.  The hours of service can be arranged for a time that best suits you and/or your loved one, from a minimum of three hours up to twenty-four hour care.  Our employees are supervised by a nurse manager.  They may only need a personal support worker to be with them so that they aren’t left alone, especially at nights.

Do you have minimum hours per day for which you can be contacted?

Yes! Usually it is three hours, but in special circumstances we can arrange for less. It is also dependant on the availability of our employees within your local area.
