Senior Watch provides compassionate, personalized in-home and in-hospital Senior Care, 24/7 in the Saint John area.
They are committed to meeting the physical and emotional needs of clients and families ensuring the highest level of care. This is achieved by employing compassionate caregivers who have been trained to the highest standards using a gerontology-based curriculum.
