Emergency staffing
Same-day emergency PSW staffing across the GTA
S Care Companion provides emergency personal support worker (PSW) staffing for Greater Toronto Area facilities. We are a PSW-specialist staffing agency — vetted PSWs only, ready when the rota falls apart with no notice.
When a shift falls out, operators need one thing: a screened PSW on the floor fast, with no scramble. A real Care Coordinator answers the call, finds the fill, and confirms it in writing so leadership knows exactly who is coming.
Calm matters as much as speed in an emergency fill. A screened personal support worker who arrives composed keeps a short-staffed floor steady. Where we can, we send a PSW who already knows your building. An urgent shift then still feels familiar to residents.
This page is part of our PSW staffing agency. Call the 24/7 line with the facility and the shift gap, and we move straight away.
What is included
Emergency PSW shift shapes.

24/7 Care Coordinator line
A real person answering the phone overnight, on weekends, and on statutory holidays.
Hourly, shift, or block bookings

Same-team continuity when possible
A Care Coordinator prioritises PSWs already familiar with the facility for emergency fills.
Escalation paths
A clear escalation path for facility leadership when something does not go to plan.
Who it is for
When emergency PSW staffing helps.
Sudden absences
Sick-calls, family emergencies, or no-shows that have left a shift uncovered.
Roster collapse
Where multiple shifts have fallen out at once and the facility needs an immediate block of PSW cover.
Surge demand
Where admissions, an outbreak, or an event has temporarily lifted PSW demand.
Vetting & coverage
Our vetting standard, and fill speed across the GTA
Every emergency PSW arrives with a validated credential package — PSW certificate, references, immunisation records, and a current vulnerable-sector police check. We carry insurance and keep WSIB coverage current.
Most fills are confirmed within a few hours. Where rosters allow, we prioritise PSWs who already know your building, so an emergency shift still feels familiar to your residents.
One Care Coordinator owns the call from start to finish. They source the fill, confirm it in writing, and stay on the line if the situation shifts. You always know who is coming and when. That holds true even at short notice, overnight, or on a holiday. Because the same coordinator stays with the call, nothing gets lost in a handover when minutes matter.
Coverage runs right across the GTA, from Toronto out to Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, and Markham. A Care Coordinator quotes in writing before the shift starts, with no surprises on the invoice.
