LocumCare. Care when you need it most.
How it works

One marketplace, three short journeys.

LocumCare connects patients booking care, caregivers looking for shifts, and care homes filling coverage gaps. Pick the path that describes you. Each is a three-step flow.

For patients

Book a personal support worker or nurse.

For yourself or a family member. No clinical detail, no medical history. Just role, date, time, and where.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need

    A short form: role, date, time, location. No medical history.

  2. 02

    Caregivers apply

    Background-checked PSWs and nurses in your area see your booking and apply. You pick the one you want.

  3. 03

    Confirm and you are set

    Approve a caregiver and the booking is locked in. LocumCare routes payment after the visit through a regulated payment partner.

For caregivers

Find shifts that fit your week.

For PSWs, RPNs, RNs, DSWs, and social workers in Ontario. Free to set up. Reliable payouts after every completed shift.

    Open shifts and bookings in your area, with role, time, duration, and hourly rate shown up front. Filter by distance and day.

  2. 02

    Claim what works

    Pick a shift, send a short message if you want, and the poster either approves you or chooses someone else. No bidding wars.
