Then there are the other times, when she's prayed for peace and no pain for residents who are critically ill. 'The work is challenging, but in the long run, you're caring for someone who needs you and who you can help,' says Francis, a personal support worker (PSW) who joined the Scarborough long-term care home when she was quite young.
