GOLDSTAR NURSING AND HOME CARE is an in-home service provider that assists individuals and families. We are dedicated to helping our clients lead dignified, independent lifestyles in the comfort and safety of their own homes by carefully assessing and fully understanding their needs and selectively placing trained personnel to meet these needs.
We are operated and supervised by Registered Nurses in the Province of Ontario Canada. Our care providers are committed, highly qualified, carefully selected individuals who are thoroughly screened, bonded, and properly insured. Most importantly, our Assistants are dependable, extraordinarily caring of others, Trained, Licensed, Certified and well paid.
As Community Nursing Care is generally government funded for a limited time, Registered Nurses are routinely retained on staff. Occasionally, certain individuals may not qualify for assistance or they may wish to supplement their entitlement. In such situations, we will arrange for Private Duty Nurses to provide in-home treatment, care, support and/or education.
In Home Assessments:
Non-medical Assessments are conducted to find clients’ functioning capabilities, to identify their needs, and to determine what services are required to assist them attain and maintain optimum independence.
Nursing Assessments are an expanded version of the Non-medical Assessment as they more thoroughly examine and identify health conditions, levels of care required, and appropriate medical interventions. If indicated, coordination of care with other health professionals can be arranged.
In both situations, assessors may review subsidization possibilities, develop Care Plans, make referrals, and arrange for Service Delivery Schedules according to the clients’ wishes.
Certain segments of the population will find our services especially beneficial such as people who are frail; elderly; housebound; terminally, chronically, or acutely ill; physically or mentally challenged; recently discharged from hospital; family caregivers; and accident victims. Our services are available to private citizens and a wide range of agencies, institutes, corporations, groups, and governments.
Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to conform to clients’ needs and preferences.
We service the Greater Toronto Area, Halton and Peel Region. If a need arises, we will strive to accommodate anyone who requires service outside this geographical area. Home and community care goals include health promotion and teaching, curative intervention, end-of-life care, informal caregiver support, provision of service to support, independence and optimize functioning, and social adaptation and integration.
How Costs are Determined
We charge a variable rate based on the type of service needed, when it is provided, and where it is delivered.
There are no costs for “non-medical” assessments but charges may be levied for “nursing” assessments. In some situations, mileage fees are applicable. Costs are worked out and discussed with clients prior to commencement of service.
