When families find themselves needing emergency or sick dependent care, we eliminate the disruption, reduce the frequency and duration of interruptions and help to manage family responsibilities leaving them more relaxed, dependable and productive at work.

Doctors and Toronto area hospitals send us their patients and distribute our cards in their offices. Teaching hospitals include us in their patient resource lists and have been referring clients to us since 1991. Did you know that we are used by the attending physicians from Hospital for Sick Children and other Toronto Hospitals to care for their children?

Our care providers are meticulously screened for aptitude and professionalism. References are methodically checked. We then match their skills to the family's unique needs. We have been recognized for entrepreneurial nursing and the excellence of our care in the Registered Nurse Journal, Chatelaine Magazine, The Toronto Star, and Eye on Toronto, among many others.

Post Operative Care
When you have first had surgery, skilled pain management is key. Many families choose to have private duty nurses to provide symptom management in the first post operative days. Reduced mobility during this phase makes it difficult to manage basic activities such as turning and bedpans. Your nurse will ensure your safety and comfort and reduce exposure to hospital infections common in the medical environment. While staff nurses must ration their time, you and your comfort are our first and only priority -- assisting with bathing and meals, as well as repositioning and other urgent concerns as they arise is our only responsibility, as your private duty nurse. We match caregivers to your situation according to the skill level required. Assignments are typically 24 hours per day for the first 72 hours following surgery then 4 to 8 hours per day. Many patients take us home from the hospital to help during their convalescence.
