"The reality is that our hospitals and care facilities are facing very difficult challenges in caring for our seniors and it is our aging loved ones that are suffering," adds husband Chris. "We are trying to educate residents now to help them understand that there is an affordable opportunity to keep their aging loved ones at home while still receiving the care and attention they need." Nurse Next Door's Oakville and Burlington franchises provide a full range of in-home senior care services ranging from 3-hour per week companionship to 24-hour, round-theclock care from a Registered Nurse.
