Patient Support for Every Healthcare Setting

Patient Sitters

SSHS patient sitters are more than just caregivers—they are trained professionals who provide essential support to patients while ensuring their safety.

Our patient sitters provide essential assistance with feeding, mobility, companionship, and redirection for individuals in long-term care or hospital settings.

Equipped with expertise in de-escalation techniques, mobility assistance, and compassionate care, our sitters create a calm, secure environment that benefits both patients and healthcare teams.

Sitting with high-risk patients requires vigilance and precision. Our staff use proprietary behavioral observation tools to monitor, document, and respond to patient behavior in real-time. This proactive approach helps reduce risks while providing valuable insights to healthcare providers.

INTEGRATED
SOLUTIONS

Unlike traditional models, SSHS eliminates delays by combining care and security expertise within a single team.

Our dual-role staff can seamlessly switch between providing patient support and addressing safety concerns, ensuring uninterrupted service.

EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING STANDARDS

All SSHS personnel receive extensive training in non-violent crisis intervention, mental health first aid, verbal de-escalation, and patient-centered techniques.

This ensures our staff can manage complex healthcare situations with professionalism and care.

PROVEN
RESULTS

SSHS has been recognized by healthcare providers and municipal leaders for its effectiveness, reliability, and ability to adapt to client needs.

Our commitment to excellence has saved critical time and resources for hospitals and other facilities.

Scrub Uniforms

The scrub-style uniform was developed by the Sentry Security team to bridge the gap between traditional authoritative security attire and the needs of sensitive healthcare environments. This design was created to help reduce risk and enhance safety when providing security services to mental health patients and individuals with dementia within hospitals and long-term care facilities.

Traditional security uniforms can trigger anxiety or agitation—particularly among dementia patients. Recognizing this, Sentry Security identified the need for a uniform that would promote calm, support de-escalation, and reduce the perception of authority that may escalate situations. The scrub uniform offers a softer, care-oriented appearance while maintaining full functionality for security operations.

Developed in collaboration with Nova Scotia Health and introduced in 2023, this uniform design has since become widely requested across most Nova Scotia Health facilities. It reflects Sentry Security’s proactive approach to modern, patient-centered security services.
