Daily living, personal care + high intensity support
Each client will have different needs, but your typical day could include companionship, assistance with daily living, personal care assistance and transportation/community engagement. We also support members of our veteran’s community via the Veterans Care Association (VCA), helping them with day-to-day task around the home.
Some clients will require high intensity support, either in their own homes or in a community health setting, with full training provided by our in-house clinical team. This could include complex bowel care, enteral feeding and tracheostomy care. We also recruit registered and enrolled nurses in some of these cases. *Please note you will need the required training to provide this level of support.
