Long-term care is one of the most demanding industries in the world today. From difficult resident behaviors to overwhelmed coworkers, the challenges can feel endless — and that’s before you even clock out and face life at home. If you're feeling stressed, worried, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you're not alone.
We know, because we've been there too.

Why We Exist

There are so few resources out there that truly support, encourage, and promote emotional well-being for those working in long-term care — and we decided it was time to change that.
Nursing Supportive Services was founded by long-term care workers for long-term care workers. We exist to be a listening ear, a safe space, and a real source of support for anyone who needs it.
