Shylo Nursing Service was founded in 1980 by Betty Brown, an inspired Nurse who wanted to provide a dignified alternative for terminally ill people wishing to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Betty's company grew over the years as more and more Nurses joined her quest to provide quality in-home nursing care. Before long she had over a hundred Health Care professionals in her employment. Due to this expansion, Betty needed more administrative help and in 1985 Linda Gusa, RPN. joined her and they worked together successfully for over 15 years.

Margot Ware (R.N., B.Sc.N., G.N.C.(C)), the present Director/Owner of Shylo Nursing Services, initially joined the Company as a companion in 1987. Impressed by both Betty and Linda's in-home nursing care of her terminally ill mother (and later grandfather) she felt she literally stumbled into her nursing vocation through their wonderful example. In 1989 Margot started her educational journey towards a Nursing degree while continuing to work at Shylo. Ten years later when Betty and Linda were ready to retire, Margot took over the company that she'd grown to love. Margot has continued to maintain the high ethical standards that have always kept Shylo in the forefront of community service on the North Shore and Lower Mainland.

Margot says, "We're like a family at Shylo and we're proud to continue offering in-home nursing with the special touch only a small community business can offer. We celebrated our 20th anniversary in 2000 and now we're looking forward to a further twenty years serving the community!"
