Sentry Security Health Services
Patient Sitters in Nova Scotia
SSHS gives families and care teams the peace of mind that someone is always there: focused, attentive, and kind.
SSHS provides compassionate and safe patient sitting. It’s one-on-one support for patients who need an extra layer of care and attention.
Our patient sitters are trained to assist with mobility, offer companionship, and help reduce distress through calm, respectful engagement. They’re a steady, supportive presence for patients in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or at home.
Born from years of experience working alongside healthcare professionals across Nova Scotia, SSHS provides peace of mind for you and your family.
What We Do
Our patient sitters are trained support personnel who provide one-on-one supervision for individuals in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home settings.
Whether someone is recovering from surgery, living with dementia, or just needs a calm presence at their side, our sitters offer real help:
Encouraging mobility
Assisting with meals
Offering companionship
Supporting safe rest and redirection
We’re here to fill the quiet gaps in care. Our role is simple: protect dignity, provide comfort, and keep people safe through human presence and gentle support.
Why SSHS?
Our sitters are trained to step in when someone needs a hand, a voice, or a moment of connection. They know how to spot early signs of agitation, how to redirect gently, and how to keep someone safe without making the room feel tense.
We’re there when patients need extra support. We listen, steady the space, or simply help them feel a little less alone.
Our team works quietly alongside care staff in hospitals and long-term care homes across Nova Scotia, showing up with calm, steady presence where it matters most.
When you call, we answer. When you need help, we’re there.

Filling Gaps in Care
