Peace of mind, at home.
We are a locally owned home care agency opening in St. John’s and the surrounding region, with plans to grow across Newfoundland and Labrador. Every person has inherent worth, and everyone who comes to us receives the same respect and the same standard of care, 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.
Easy to reach
When you call, you reach a person who knows your file. Questions, changes and concerns are handled, not queued.
Focused on outcomes
Our focus is care outcomes: whether you are well, whether the plan still fits, and whether it is working for your family.
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.
“Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.”
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 29. The foundation OWN is built on.
We started OWN because care is not a legacy to be managed. It is an investment in humanity, in the people who built this province and in the community all of us will grow old in. We are in this to deliver the care we would want to receive ourselves.
We have heard the frustrations. The waiting. A different face every week. Care should not depend on who you have advocating for you. It should be the standard. Your care plan is yours and not a template, and the caregiver who comes through your door is matched to you, not to a gap in a schedule.
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, and the need is growing faster than the workforce that meets it. We work to remove the barriers, to match you with someone who is right for you, and to be part of building a stronger community rather than adding to the strain on it.
“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.
