Finding the right kind of respite care can be difficult but with Gateway Holistic we make sure you know exactly what you will be receiving with our services. Here are some of the questions you should consider prior to making that decision:

What kind of background and screening checks can you do on your own for a caregiver?

All Gateway Holistic Caregivers are carefully screened with criminal background checks and vulnerable sector checks. We confirm our Caregivers' educational credentials and verify upon hire and annually, that every nurse is registered and in good standing with their respective College of Nurses. If you hire a caregiver privately, you will need to perform background checks and screening yourself.

If my caregiver is unavailable, who will fill in?

At Gateway Holistic, we ensure there is a replacement when one of our Caregivers becomes unavailable. We believe in continuity of care and will contact you to inform you of a Caregiver change. If you hire a caregiver privately, it may be difficult to find a replacement caregiver depending on how much notice is given.

You are not locked into a long-term contract.

To try out our respite services, just contact us to book a no-obligation trial care consult. We believe in making things easy for you. One of our Care Coordinators will chat with you to assess you or your loved ones needs and design a care plan with you, which will include frequency and duration of care.
