Common questions

Healthcare support FAQs

Are these medical services?

Our current healthcare offering focuses on non-medical PSW, companionship, homemaking, overnight, and facility support. We clarify the service scope before an assignment.

Can you provide replacement coverage?

We can discuss overnight, weekend, holiday, seasonal, and sick-call replacement needs based on staffing availability and the service setting.

How are staff selected?

We review experience, suitability, availability, and the requirements of the home or facility before confirming a match.

Do you serve facilities as well as private homes?

Yes. We can discuss suitable non-medical support assignments in senior residences, retirement homes, assisted living, long-term care, hospice or palliative settings, hospitals, group homes, and community living settings. Clinical treatment, nursing, and palliative medical care must be provided by appropriately licensed health professionals.
