Staffing long-term care homes with vetted PSWs

S Care Companion places personal support workers (PSWs) into long-term care homes across the Greater Toronto Area. We are a PSW-specialist staffing agency — vetted PSWs only, matched to the way your home actually runs.

Operators of long-term care homes need three things from a staffing partner: people who clear screening, shifts that genuinely get filled, and continuity the residents can feel. Heavy documentation and tight routines leave no room for a stranger who does not know the floor.

Continuity is the quiet win in long-term care. When the same personal support workers return, they learn the routines and preferences of each resident. That familiarity shows up in calmer mornings and smoother hand-offs. A Care Coordinator works to send the same small team back, so residents are not meeting a stranger on every shift.

This page is part of our PSW staffing agency. Tell a Care Coordinator the home, the shift shape, and the volume, and we build coverage around your roster.

What is included

LTC home shift shapes we cover.

Day-shift coverage

Bathing, dressing, meal-routine support, and resident mobility across the home's units.

Overnight cover

Overnight PSW shifts with documented hand-offs to the day team in the morning.

Weekend & statutory shifts

Saturday, Sunday, and statutory-holiday shifts integrated into the rotation, not booked as exceptions.

Standing-order rotations

Recurring weekly placements with a named PSW team familiar with the home's units and routines.

Credential packages on file

PSW certificate, references, immunisations, vulnerable-sector police checks — held on file and available on request.

Same-team continuity

A small rotation of PSWs per home so the residents see familiar faces shift after shift.

Who it is for

When LTC PSW staffing helps.

Standing-order shift fills

Where the home's roster has recurring gaps a regular PSW rotation would simplify.

Sudden absences

When a sick-call or family emergency leaves a shift uncovered and the unit needs a PSW the same day.

Census and occupancy spikes

When admissions rise or staff leaves create temporary additional demand for PSW shifts.

Vetting & coverage

Our vetting standard, and fill speed across the GTA

Every PSW we place is interviewed, reference-checked, and current on their credentials. We hold the PSW certificate, immunisation records, and a vulnerable-sector police check on file, and share them with your leadership team before the first shift.

We carry insurance and keep WSIB coverage current. For an emergency fill we move the same day where rosters allow; for standing-order and contract work we plan the rota with you in advance.

There is no agency runaround either. One Care Coordinator owns your account, takes the booking, and stays reachable if a shift needs adjusting. You get a clear rate, a confirmed PSW, and a written record of who is arriving and when. Nothing is left to guesswork on the day.

Coverage runs right across the GTA, from Toronto out to Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, and Markham. A Care Coordinator quotes in writing, with no surprises on the invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Emergency same-day fills are routine across the GTA. Standing-order rotations start once the credential package and the home's onboarding paperwork are in place, with timing confirmed in writing.
