Where we cover around Temiskaming Shores
Temiskaming Shores is three former communities in one municipality, acting as the service hub for a district several times its own population.
- New Liskeard — the northern centre, on Wabi Bay.
- Haileybury and North Cobalt — south along the lake.
- Cobalt — immediately south, a separate municipality.
- Latchford — south on Highway 11.
- Englehart — north on Highway 11.
- Kirkland Lake — northwest, with notice.
- Temagami — south on Highway 11, toward North Bay.
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 Temiskaming Shores actually looks like
This is one of the few northern markets with training inside the municipality: Northern College's Haileybury campus runs the personal support worker program locally. That matters more here than it would further south, because there is no nearby city to recruit from when the local pool is short.
Bilingual capacity is a genuine screening criterion. The whole District of Timiskaming is designated under the French Language Services Act and close to three in ten residents report French as a mother tongue. The local hospital is formally identified for French-language services, and homes here expect the same.
The economy is agricultural rather than mining-driven, which makes the labour supply steadier than in Timmins or Kirkland Lake — there is no boom pulling people away, but there is no high-wage sector to recruit against either. What there is instead is scale: a small acute service anchoring a catchment several times the municipality's own population, which means a single unfilled line is a much larger share of capacity than it would be in a mid-sized city.

Questions from Temiskaming Shores coordinators
Can you supply bilingual staff here?
Yes. Timiskaming is a designated area under the French Language Services Act and we screen for French across the district.
Do you cover Kirkland Lake and Englehart as well?
With notice, yes, and best as standing lines rather than short-notice dispatch. Highway 11 is the only route and it does close.
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 Temiskaming Shores?
Yes, that is our other side of the business — personal support, nursing visits, respite and overnight care in private homes. Home care in Temiskaming Shores
