Long-Term Care Staffing and Jobs Across Canada
Reliable care teams for long-term care homes. We help long-term care and continuing care providers fill nursing and care aide shifts, and we help care professionals find work in homes across Canada. Based in British Columbia.
- Free for candidates. Always.
- Licences verified with the regulator
- Every province and territory except Quebec
Long-term care runs on continuity
Residents rely on familiar faces. Homes work under provincial inspection, care-hour expectations and union or non-union staffing models. A missed shift affects residents and compliance on the same day. We prioritize fit and consistency over speed of fill.
Same-team continuity
Where possible, we place the same people into the same homes.
Documented credential checks
Registration, certificates and the screening documents your home requires.
Honest conversations
We tell you what we can fill and what we cannot.
Who we place in long-term care

The rules that shape long-term care staffing
Long-term care is regulated provincially. We keep up with the rules so you do not have to explain them to us.
British Columbia (our home province)
Licensed residential care is overseen under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, with licensing and inspections through the regional health authorities. The province sets a direct care guideline of at least 3.36 hours per resident per day, and publicly subsidized homes are funded to meet it. Care aides working in publicly funded settings register with the BC Care Aide and Community Health Worker Registry.
Ontario
The Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021 and its regulations apply, with inspections by the Ministry of Long-Term Care. The Act set a target of an average of four hours of direct care per resident per day by March 31, 2025, and homes continue to work toward it.
Alberta
The Continuing Care Act and its regulations and standards took effect on April 1, 2024. They no longer prescribe a minimum number of care hours.
Other provinces and territories
Provincial or territorial legislation and standards apply, and details differ. We tell you what we know and where to confirm.
Accreditation
Many homes seek Accreditation Canada accreditation (Health Standards Organization). Others follow provincial inspection programs only.
This is a summary, not legal advice. Confirm your current obligations with your regulator.
Where homes feel the pressure
Care hour targets and guidelines
Provincial expectations leave little room for gaps. We focus on filling shifts so your teams can stay on track.
Care aide shortage
Aides are the largest group in long-term care and the hardest to keep. We work on committed, longer-term matches rather than one-off fills.
Night and weekend coverage
We are upfront about what is available.
Leadership vacancies
When a Director of Care or nurse manager leaves, we can support interim and permanent search. See executive search.
Shift models we can work with
Relief shifts
Cover sick calls, vacations and short-term gaps.
Contract and block bookings
Weeks or months of regular shifts for leaves and ongoing vacancies. See contract and relief staffing.
Permanent hire
Aides, LPNs, RNs and leaders through direct hire.
Long-term care commonly runs 8-hour day, evening and night shifts, though some homes use 12-hour shifts for nurses. This varies by home.

Do you supply health care aides as well as nurses to long-term care homes?
Yes. We recruit aides (called care aides or HCAs in BC, PSWs in Ontario, CCAs in Nova Scotia), LPNs and RPNs, and RNs, depending on the province. We also support leadership searches. Tell us the roles and shifts your home needs and we will say what we can fill.
How do you check staff before placing them?
We verify regulator registration for nurses and review certificates and training for aides. We also request the screening documents your home requires, such as vulnerable-sector checks and immunization records. You complete your own onboarding, and we support the documents your home needs to see.
Can you help us meet provincial staffing targets?
We can help fill shifts. Meeting a care-hour target remains your responsibility, but we aim to be a dependable source of coverage. Tell us your shift patterns and gaps, and we will be honest about what is realistic in your province and for your home.
Can aides and nurses choose which homes they work in?
Yes, within the assignments available. Tell us your preferences when you submit your profile, including location, shift pattern and the kind of home you prefer. We will explain the home, the shift and the pay structure before you accept anything.
Do you work with retirement homes and supportive living as well?
Often yes. Contact us with your setting, your province and the kind of staff you need, and we will tell you honestly if it is a fit. Retirement and supportive living settings can differ from licensed long-term care in staffing and screening needs.
Do you charge care aides or nurses a fee?
No. Free for candidates. Always. Homes pay for our service. We never charge care aides, PSWs, LPNs, RPNs or RNs to submit a profile, to be matched or to take a shift. If anyone asks you to pay, it is not us.
