• M Vogel

    Our elderly parent was in the hospital and for a number of reasons we needed round the clock 1-to1-care to help our parent recovery quickly and safely. We called Staff Relief and they were able to provide qualified care to augment hospital services within hours!

    We met with the Staff Relief members daily, they worked well with hospital staff, and were very well qualified and reliable in providing the care we requested.

    Staff Relief has helped our family tremendously during a very difficult time. The personal support worker’s have all been kind, punctual and helpful. Customer service is 5-star. Robert, Russell and the Staff Relief team have always been attentive and prompt with any replies and assistance to our needs and schedule changes.

    I strongly recommend Staff Relief.

  • Helen and George B

    My husband and I have been involved with Staff Relief for night time PSWs for 18 months now. We could not ask for better communication and organization that Staff Relief has provided us.

    Thank you so very much for your excellent help.

    Thank you,
