We don't just check skills. We interview for kindness, patience, and genuine warmth. Our caregivers stay because they love the work — not because they have to.
Every caregiver passes a criminal background check, sex offender registry search, reference checks, and a hands-on skills test. We re-check backgrounds annually.
After every shift, we send a quick update: How was the visit? Any concerns? What happened today? You're never left wondering.
We can often have a caregiver at your door within 24-48 hours. Minimum shifts start at just 2 hours.
No long-term contracts. No cancellation fees. You stay only as long as you're happy.
Nights? Weekends? Holidays? A live supervisor answers. No call centers. No phone trees.
“When my 82-year-old mother insisted on staying in her condo in Kanata, I was worried about her safety and loneliness. Since we started using NESTORA, everything has changed. Her caregiver helps with housekeeping, prepares her favorite meals, and most importantly, keeps her company. I get daily updates and photos, which lets me focus on my own family knowing Mom is smiling and safe.”
— Helen M., Ottawa
“I don’t need a nurse – I need a friend who can help me with errands and remind me to take my pills. That’s exactly what I found with NESTORA. My caregiver, Lisa, picks me up for grocery shopping, helps me sort my mail, and even sits with me during my morning tea. I feel independent again, but without the stress of driving or heavy lifting. They treat me like family, not a patient.”
— George T., Nepean
“As my husband’s primary caregiver, I was exhausted and neglecting my own health. Having NESTORA come in for four hours each afternoon has been a lifesaver. They help him shower, make lunch, and engage him in conversation while I go for a walk or just rest. The staff are incredibly patient and respectful. I no longer feel guilty taking a break because I know he’s in excellent, caring hands.”
— Rachel S., Orleans
“I live in Vancouver while my dad stays in his old Ottawa home. The team at NESTORA sends me a weekly care log with notes on his mood, meals, and any concerns. When he had a small fall last month, his caregiver called me immediately. Their non-medical support – getting groceries has kept him living independently longer than I ever thought possible.”
— David L., Vancouver, BC (father in Ottawa)
