STAFF
SPRINT staff help seniors live at home safely in North Toronto
 SPRINT employs caring, compassionate people who have been trained to work with seniors.
Our staff provide practical and low-cost services. Many of our programs are offered free of charge. Our staff also work with adults with disabilities who need support to live independently in the community.
It is our goal to help elderly clients live at home safely. Together with our clients, we can avoid repeat visits to emergency departments or pre-mature stays at long-term care facilities. We provide a basket of home care services and more.
| NOTE: We urge our clients and caregivers to keep SPRINT informed about any changes in health status or other circumstance that could potentially compromise safety. Both the safety of the people we work with and the safety of our employees and volunteers are a number one priority at SPRINT. |
