Why Staffing Matters in Long-Term Care

Long-term care homes operate differently from hospitals or clinics. Residents are individuals who live in these facilities for extended periods, sometimes for the rest of their lives. This reality creates unique staffing challenges.

A stable workforce is critical because:

  • Residents need continuity of care, not a rotating door of caregivers.

  • Families expect their loved ones to receive daily attention without compromise.

  • Staff who are overworked or unsupported face burnout, which leads to higher turnover.

  • Regulatory agencies hold facilities accountable for meeting safe staffing levels.

  • In most cases, patients grow to become fond of caregivers and vice-versa. Therefore, frequent staffing is not a good idea.

When staffing levels drop, the risks increase immediately. Missed care tasks, delayed assistance, and reduced supervision put residents at risk.

Families lose confidence. Staff morale declines. Over time, the reputation of the facility suffers.

Goodwill Staffing and Recruitment steps in to prevent these outcomes. This is where we step in by recruiting the best hands for your care home.

In addition, we help your facility maintain stability, reduce turnover, and protect resident well-being.

Specialized Support for Long-Term and Continuing Care

 

The Professionals We Provide

We match long-term care homes with trained and experienced professionals. Every candidate undergoes a rigorous selection process, including background checks, license verification, and skills assessments.

This is why you can always trust us to deliver beyond your expectations.

Here are the various professionals we send your way.

Registered Nurses (RNs)

RNs serve as leaders within long-term care homes. They supervise staff, oversee medication administration, and manage care plans for residents with complex needs. 

Their presence ensures safety, compliance, and quality of care.

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)

LPNs provide hands-on support, monitoring resident health, reporting changes, and assisting with treatments. They are essential to daily operations, bridging the gap between support staff and registered nurses.

Personal Support Workers (PSWs) and Nurse Aides

These professionals are the backbone of long-term care. They assist residents with personal hygiene, meals, mobility, and social engagement. Their work directly impacts comfort and dignity.

Allied Health Professionals

Long-term care homes also require specialists such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and respiratory therapists. These professionals support rehabilitation, mobility, and respiratory care, which are essential for maintaining quality of life.

Administrative and Support Staff

Behind every effective care team is strong administrative support. We also provide staff who handle scheduling, records management, and other operational needs.

By offering a broad pool of professionals, Goodwill ensures that every aspect of resident care is covered.

Flexible Staffing Options

No two long-term care homes face the exact same challenges. Some facilities need emergency coverage for sick calls.

Others require steady contract staff for months at a time. Many look for permanent hires to reduce reliance on temporary workers.

Goodwill Staffing and Recruitment provides solutions that adapt to these situations:

  1. Temporary staffing – Ideal for filling immediate gaps, vacation leaves, or sudden increases in resident demand.
  2. Contract placements – Suitable for medium-term needs such as maternity leaves, seasonal fluctuations, or project-based assignments.
  3. Permanent recruitment – For facilities ready to invest in long-term workforce stability.

This flexibility allows facilities to maintain quality care while controlling costs and reducing pressure on existing staff.

Challenges in Long-Term Care Staffing

The long-term care sector faces unique workforce challenges. Becoming aware of these challenges is the first step toward solving them.

  • High turnover rates – Staff burnout and emotional strain lead to frequent resignations.

     

  • Aging workforce – Many current caregivers are approaching retirement, creating a growing gap.

     

  • Increasing demand – Canada’s senior population is expanding rapidly, which increases staffing needs.

     

  • Regulatory pressure – Facilities must meet provincial staffing requirements or face penalties.

     

  • Limited talent pool – Competition for highly-qualified nurses and support workers is fierce across the healthcare system.

  1. Needs assessment – We consult with your facility to understand exact requirements.
  2. Candidate sourcing – We draw from a network of qualified professionals across Canada.
  3. Screening and credentialing – Every candidate undergoes license verification, reference checks, and background screening.
  4. Skills matching – We place candidates in roles that align with their expertise and experience.

Impact on Resident Care

The ultimate goal of staffing is to improve resident outcomes. Stable staffing in long-term care homes results in:

  • Better resident safety due to consistent monitoring.
  • Improved quality of life through regular attention and support.

  • Higher satisfaction for families who trust the care being delivered.

By reducing turnover and filling shifts quickly, Goodwill helps create an environment where residents feel secure and valued.
