We're launching a blog!

Meet the night-shift guardians and day-time road warriors who are transforming care at home.

"Home is where healing happens best."

Children recover faster in familiar surroundings.

Our specialized pediatric nurses bring ventilator support, medication management, and consistent care right to your home in Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region. Parents tell us: rest comes easier knowing skilled care is already there.

We navigate Durham's neighborhoods so you don't have to navigate clinic parking lots.

Our visiting nurses bring specialized care directly to your doorstep, adapting quickly to your home environment with everything from wound assessments to IV therapy. Whether it's pediatric, palliative, or post-op care, we bring solutions right to you.

Pro tip: If mobility is a challenge, consider using a key lockbox. Let us know and we’ll help you explore options to find a system that works best for your needs.

That moment when the wound is healed, the IV is removed, or the treatment plan is complete—it's why we do what we do.

Celebrating health milestones with Durham families is the greatest reward of community care.

"If I discharge you, I mean this in the best way—I hope to never see you again 🙂." – Sarah Winter, Visiting RN

3 quick wins for adult home visits:

- Map tomorrow's schedule the night before (avoid the 401 between 8-9 AM!)

- Keep a mini "surprise kit" (extra dressings, tape, gloves)

- Use a private voice-to-text between calls to keep your notes current

Solo visits—but never alone.

"At the touch of a button, you can call the office." – Sarah Winter, Visiting RN
