Healthcare staffing in Clarence-Rockland and Prescott-Russell
Bilingual RNs, RPNs and PSWs for long-term care homes, retirement residences and community programs across Rockland, Bourget, Clarence Creek and Prescott-Russell.
Where we cover around Clarence-Rockland and Prescott-Russell
Clarence-Rockland is seven settlements rather than one town, sitting on the Ottawa River just east of the city.
- Rockland — the main centre and administrative hub.
- Bourget and Clarence Creek — south and east of Rockland.
- Hammond, Cheney and Saint-Pascal-Baylon — the surrounding settlements.
- Orléans — immediately west, in Ottawa's east end.
- Casselman and Embrun — south.
- Wendover and Alfred and Plantagenet — east on County Road 17.
- Hawkesbury — further east, with notice.
Coverage in any given community depends on who we hold near it, not on a map. Ask us about your site specifically and you will get a straight answer.
What staffing in Clarence-Rockland actually looks like
French is the whole ballgame here. Around 57 per cent of Clarence-Rockland residents have French as a first language, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell is a fully designated area under the French Language Services Act, and the municipality has gone further and legislated active offer — French from the first contact. A home with French-language designation cannot meet its obligations with an English-only PSW or RPN. That is our first screening question here, not our last.
The commute is the second thing. Ottawa Road 174 is a four-lane freeway only for its western stretch; east of Trim Road it narrows to a two-lane arterial before it reaches Rockland. One collision on that stretch strands a shift. We build in the margin rather than assuming a clear run.
The third thing is competition. Ottawa is about an hour west and its hospitals — including a francophone academic hospital — recruit from exactly the same bilingual pool. A bilingual RPN in Rockland has options, and rates here have to reflect that rather than pretend otherwise.

Questions from Clarence-Rockland coordinators
Do you supply French-speaking staff?
Yes — in Prescott-Russell that is the default rather than the exception. Tell us whether French is required or preferred and whether the site carries a French-language designation, and we will screen to match.
Can you cover Rockland from Ottawa?
Sometimes, and we plan the Road 174 corridor into the shift start. Where we can, we prefer to hold workers who live east of Trim Road rather than depend on that run.
Are the workers employed by you?
Yes. Payroll, source deductions, WSIB coverage and Employment Standards Act entitlements sit with Help Now Healthcare, not with your organization.
What happens if someone does not show?
One number, answered 24/7. A coordinator re-fills it, and if we cannot, you hear that from us immediately rather than at handover.
Do you also provide home care in Clarence-Rockland?
Yes, that is our other side of the business — personal support, nursing visits, respite and overnight care in private homes. Home care in Clarence-Rockland
