What RNS Health Care Services does

RNS Health Care Services Inc. (formerly Regional Nursing Services) is a privately held Canadian home health care provider headquartered in Newmarket, Ontario, operating continuously since its 1985 founding in Richmond Hill. The company delivers a five-line service portfolio: Personal Support Services (assistance with activities of daily living, homemaking, companionship), Nursing Care (chronic disease management, palliative care, pediatric care, foot care, and flu clinics), Specialty Population Care (Alzheimer's, dementia, acquired brain injury, and child/youth services), Rehabilitation Services (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social work), and on-site Workplace Flu Clinic services. It serves approximately 3,900 clients across roughly 600 employees including 500+ Health Care Providers (RNs, RPNs, PSWs, and therapists) under the leadership of CEO & President Angela Westheuser, who has held the role since July 1999.

The company operates primarily in the York Region of Ontario, delivering care in clients' homes, retirement communities, long-term care facilities, and hospitals. Its technology layer is built on the third-party AlayaCare platform, which powers a Family Portal for client families and an internal Employee Portal, complemented by 24/7 supervisor support and client-centered care plans that integrate multiple service lines per client. RNS holds CARF Canada accreditation and is government-authorized to administer influenza vaccines in York Region, and is a member of the Canadian Home Care Association, Home Care Ontario, the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists, and the Central York Chamber of Commerce.

RNS generates revenue through two streams: private-pay, fee-for-service home health care paid directly by clients or families, and government-funded home and community care services facilitated through public programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; services are quote-based and customized following an individual needs assessment, billed on a pay-as-you-go cadence. Customer acquisition relies on direct-to-consumer outreach through the company website, phone contact, consultation-based care planning, and a content marketing and email newsletter program, with workplace flu clinics adding a direct B2B sales channel to employers in the region.
