In 2005 Sue Williams saw an urgent need among the seniors in the Oceanside area for professional, dependable in-home care on a 24 hour 7 days a week basis and Sue’s Seniors Care was born. Their mission: To provide support to those in need, so that they maintain independence and dignity in the comfort and security of their own homes.
Having over 40 years experience as a long term care attendant specializing with seniors has allowed Sue to assemble a team of likeminded, dedicated professionals who share her belief that our aging population deserves nothing less than the highest quality of care.
Every individual client’s care is established by an initial in-depth consultation welcoming family or other caregivers. Sue and her team recognize that things change and the client’s needs are monitored and care adjusted as their situation evolves. Providing everything from housekeeping and meal preparation, to personal care and nursing care gives them the breadth to do just that, quickly and efficiently.
Ask Sue and she’ll tell you that she considers herself extremely fortunate. Her favourite quote from Theodore Isaac Rubin says it all: “Using ourselves well is the essence of happiness, and when we use ourselves well for the benefit of another human being, there is no greater satisfaction.”
Positions available: We are currently hiring both accredited Care Aides as Extended Home Support Workers and Homemakers/Housekeepers as General Home Support Workers for part time permanent positions in the Oceanside area.
