Royal Canadian Health Care Services understands the difficulties that a family faces when a loved one is in the hospital or recuperating at home, particularly if that individual needs constant observation and care. Our professional and trustworthy caregivers are available to sit with you or your loved one in a medical facility or personal residence for as long as necessary.
RCHCS’s Sitter Services are available anywhere from a few hours to 24-hours a day. RCHCS’s also realizes that care does not always end when a patient leaves a hospital or medical facility. Should the need arise, RCHCS’s caregivers are available to transfer care to the comfort of the patient’s home. Our Sitter Services are also available when a family caregiver is unable or unavailable to assist with their loved one’s needs.
