Senior care staffing for Ontario long-term care and retirement homes

Ontario homes are staffed against the direct-care hours target, and a single unfilled PSW line shows up in the next inspection. We hold a bench of screened PSWs, RPNs, dietary and housekeeping staff across the province so a call before 06:00 is normally covered for the day shift.

Why Ontario homes call us

Coverage that holds up to a Ministry inspection

We staff against the direct-care hours target, not just the vacancy list.

Same-day shift fill

Call-ins before 06:00 are normally confirmed for the day shift within 90 minutes, with a named worker sent back to your scheduler.

Credential-ready on arrival

PSW certificates, CNO registration, vulnerable sector checks and two-step TB screening verified before anyone is dispatched.

Continuity for residents

Block bookings keep the same PSW or RPN on the same line for four to twelve weeks, so residents see a familiar face.

Inspection-ready paperwork

Direct-care hours documentation, WSIB clearance letters and PHIPA acknowledgements available on request for every worker.
