Hear what families are saying

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for always doing your absolute best to have someone with her. “T” is the most amazing caregiver, as is “J” and all the girls. So kind. I appreciate it more than you know. You run a tight ship — I am thankful!

Client's grandson, October 2022

Your company is the greatest! I can't imagine anyone living without you!

93-year-old client

My caregiver helped me to recover in the comfort of my own home after my surgery. Thank you for everything.

Knee replacement client

Thank you for making it possible for my parents to live in their home. Your caregiver made sure my parents took their medications, had healthy meals, and that they were comfortable and safe.

Daughter of aging parents

We are so pleased with how well the worker interacts with our mother and goes beyond to meet her every need.

Common questions

Is the agency recognized by the Government of Newfoundland and managed locally?

Yes. The agency is approved to operate in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and is locally owned by Tracy Coombs.

What is the process for receiving services?

For government-funded services, a social worker assesses the client and determines the hours and client contribution, then sends a referral to us. We complete a home assessment to determine which worker best suits the client's needs, arrange a meet and greet, and schedule hours from there.

Can I request a different worker?

Yes. We make every effort to place the most capable worker for each client, and will work with you until the arrangement is one you're comfortable with.

Do you have a nurse on staff, and are workers trained?

We have a registered nurse/licensed practical nurse on staff, and workers are trained for each client's individual needs. First Aid/CPR is mandatory for all workers, and we provide in-house training plus encouragement to take further courses.

Can I reach the agency after hours?

Yes — we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you reach the answering machine, leave your name and contact information and someone will get back to you shortly.

Do you offer private pay services?

Yes. Invoices are sent bi-weekly, and payment can be made by cash, cheque or credit card.
