Healthcare staffing in London
RNs, RPNs and PSWs for long-term care homes, retirement residences and community programs in London and across Middlesex County.
Where we cover around London
We work across the city and into the surrounding county.
- Old North, Woodfield and downtown — the centre.
- Masonville and North London — the north.
- Byron, Oakridge and Hyde Park — the west.
- White Oaks and Westminster — the south.
- Argyle and East London — the east.
- Middlesex County — St. Thomas, Strathroy and the surrounding towns, with notice.
Coverage in any given neighbourhood 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 London actually looks like
London’s healthcare labour pool is smaller than the GTA’s, and that changes what good service looks like here. Notice is worth more than it is in Toronto: a week of warning usually gets you a named worker who has been oriented to your site, and a same-day call often does not.
The practical consequence is that block bookings and recurring lines are not just cheaper here, they are frequently the only way to get continuity. If you are covering a leave or a vacancy, tell us the whole run at once rather than shift by shift.
We will also tell you when we do not hold depth for a particular role in this market. A supplier who accepts every request and releases half of them is worse than one who says no on the phone.
Roles we supply
Registered Nurses
Charge shifts, admissions and assessments, IV and complex wound care, unstable or declining residents.

Temporary and agency shifts

How we work with facilities
Settings we staff, who is responsible for what, credentialing and privacy.
Verified before the first shift, not after it
Every worker we place has been through the same file before they are offered to you.
- Government photo identification and proof of eligibility to work in Canada.
- Current registration and standing confirmed directly on the College of Nurses of Ontario register, where the role is regulated — not from a document the candidate hands us.
- Police vulnerable sector check completed and reviewed.
- References spoken to, from previous supervisors.
- Immunization and health records on file and kept current for the settings we place into.
- AODA, WHMIS, worker health and safety awareness and workplace violence and harassment training, plus orientation to your site.
Questions from London coordinators
How much notice do you need in London?
More than in the GTA, honestly. A week gets you continuity; a day gets you a chance. We will tell you which one you are getting when you call.
Do you cover St. Thomas and Strathroy?
With notice, yes. Same-day county coverage is difficult and we will say so rather than take the booking and hope.
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 London?
Yes, that is our other side of the business — personal support, nursing visits, respite and overnight care in private homes. Home care in London
