Total Care Nursing in the Home Services Ltd.

Business of the Year – 2024

Phyllis Fitzpatrick is a retired nurse with more than forty years of experience. She is the founder and sole owner of Total Care Nursing in the Home. Phyllis had a dream, a vision of home care for those in need. A way for the sick and convalescent to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving the care required. Her vision of home care far surpassed anything available at the time. She was a true pioneer and was, in fact, so far advanced in her thinking and concepts that some of her ideas back then are just being recognized and implemented by Health Authorities now.

Total Care is a leader in the home support industry and the first homecare agency to settle in the Clarenville and Bonavista area. We believe in providing hands-on care to elderly, convalescent, and special needs patients and offering them encouragement, support, and assistance, all with their well-being in mind. Total Care’s guiding principle rests with the belief that these individuals have greater success and feel a state of well-being withing the confines of their own homes.

At Total Care, the home support staff provides optimal care under the supervision of registered and licensed practical nurses. They are proud to say that each homecare worker has completed the necessary medical evaluations, follows codes of conduct and is carefully selected according to their references.

Total Care has approximately 250 home support workers and take in the geographical location of Bonavista & surrounding area, Clarenville and surrounding area, Arnold’s Cove Area, and Musgravetown, Lethbridge and surrounding area.
