Home Care Directed by Experienced Nursing Leadership
Most home care agencies in British Columbia are business franchises run by operators without healthcare backgrounds. When health emergencies arise, subtle infection signs emerge, or medications conflict, non-clinical agencies often lack the expertise to act proactively.
OnPoint is fundamentally different. Founded and actively directed by Risper Murunga (RN, BSN, MPH), our care plans are built on decades of acute hospital and community health experience. Every caregiver is clinically trained, every shift is monitored, and every family receives direct access to registered nurse guidance.
"When you trust us with your parent, you are not just getting a companion; you are getting a clinical safety net that protects their health, dignity, and independence."
— Risper Murunga, Clinical Director

Four Pillars of the OnPoint Standard
1. Registered Nurse Clinical Leadership
Founded by Risper Murunga (RN, BSN, MPH), OnPoint approaches every care plan with clinical rigor. We catch subtle physiological changes, medication interactions, and infection signs before they escalate.
2. Zero Stranger Rotation
We know how disorienting it is for an aging parent to have different people entering their home each week. We pair your loved one with a dedicated primary caregiver who becomes a trusted family companion.
3. Holistic, Whole-Person Care
We care for the human being, not just the diagnosis. From preserving cherished cultural recipes and hobbies to protecting dignity during personal hygiene, our care nurtures emotional and physical well-being.
4. Transparent Family Communication
Whether you live down the street in Vancouver or across the world, you receive digital shift summaries, vital updates, and direct access to our nursing supervisors.
Questions About Our Standards
Most franchise home care agencies are run by business operators without medical backgrounds. OnPoint is founded and actively directed by a Registered Nurse (BSN, MPH) with over 20 years of acute and community healthcare experience. Every care plan, medication protocol, and caregiver match has direct clinical governance.
Yes. We maintain a strict primary care team model (typically 1 to 3 dedicated caregivers) rather than rotating dozens of strangers through your parent's home.
100%. All our caregivers and nurses are fully employed, insured, bonded, covered by WorkSafeBC, and vetted through comprehensive criminal record and vulnerable sector checks.
Online registries act merely as job boards, leaving families carrying all legal, WCB, and clinical liability. OnPoint employs, bonds, insures, and clinically supervises all staff under our Registered Nurse leadership.
We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive clinical support from our RN leadership, manageable caseloads, and respectful scheduling, resulting in exceptional staff retention and continuity for clients.
Metro Vancouver is richly diverse. We actively match caregivers who share cultural traditions, dietary understanding, and language proficiencies (including Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Tagalog, and Hindi).
We adhere strictly to the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) standards, routine sterile procedure audits, and WorkSafeBC occupational health standards.
We provide formal clinical updates, lab monitoring reports, and physician progress notes directly to primary care doctors and specialist clinics.
