Yes there are lots of jobs through different residential homes and through red cross or being linked as aprovider thru gov't's long term care for private homes. Personal care assisants are in much demand. For homecare(going into private homes to help out) the pay is less($12 oer hour). With more training(which can be done as you work) you go up another designation-so in nursing/residentail homes for elderly/ mentally disabled ,etc. They are good jobs and can be found even in small communities. They start around $14 and go up with your training/hours to almost $20 per hour-vacations/training paid in many places. Start googling to find out what is required/designations. Your partner sounds she may have the qualifications already. They are always looking for people in this field. I am in Ontario by the way. Good luck.
