Peace of mind, at home.
We are a locally owned home care agency serving the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Every person has inherent worth, and everyone who comes to us receives the same respect and the same standard of care. Our trained, screened caregivers treat you as their own, whether you need a few hours a week or 24-hour care.

Cared for as our own
We treat every client, and each other, the way we’d want our own families treated.
A voice for our clients
We help clients and families understand their options and work with their care team to get the right support.
Families get to be family
When the care is handled, loved ones can spend their time together, not managing care.
Responsive, every time
When you call, we answer. Questions, changes and concerns are handled quickly.
Invested in the outcome
We measure success by how you’re doing, not by hours delivered.
Why a cairn?
Our logo is a cairn, stones stacked by hand to mark a safe path across the barrens and along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. When you see one, you know someone has been there before you and the way ahead is safe. That’s how we see care: steady, built together, and there to guide people home.
The stones at the base of a cairn carry everything above them. We acknowledge the trailblazers who showed us what this work could be, who lived lives of service, and whose legacy we stand on.
Own the work.
Own the standard.
Own the outcome.
Home care can be run as a numbers business. Hours booked, hours billed, a caregiver sent because they were available rather than because they were right. It is possible to do that and still meet the standard on paper.
We started OWN because that is not care. Care is someone in your home at a hard hour of your life. It is the same face on Tuesday as on Monday. It is a caregiver who notices the small change before it becomes an emergency, and a phone answered by a person who knows your name.
That takes judgment, and judgment comes from doing the work. OWN is built on more than 15 years in this province’s home care sector, from front-line care through to running operations from St. John’s to Port aux Basques, through a pandemic and the worst workforce shortage this sector has seen. We know what good care looks like, what it costs to deliver, and where it quietly slips.
Newfoundland and Labrador is the first province in which more than one in four people is over 65. By 2032 the province is projected to need 8,281 home support workers and to have 3,849.
That gap will not be closed by recruiting harder. It closes by keeping the people already doing the work: pay at or above the sector benchmark, steady hours, consistent clients, and a phone that is answered when they call. OWN is built around that, because an agency that cannot hold its caregivers cannot hold its clients.

“Sooner or later, we all need each other. That need is the great equalizer. Meeting it with care that honours a person’s dignity and protects them when they are most vulnerable is humanity at its best. It is why we do this work.”
Do the work you got into care for.
Steady hours, clients you get to know, and leadership that has worked the front line.
