Home Health and Community Supports - North West


Home care serves people of all ages with a wide range of health problems and disabilities at home, school, and in the community. Home health care services may be purchased directly, covered by private insurance plans, or publicly funded.

Ontario Health atHome handles publicly-funded home health care. Assisted living programs provide support, including equipment and medical supplies, so that people can live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

Ontario is taking the next steps in its plan to better integrate the province’s health care system to help end hallway health care

You will continue to have access to the care you need and the health care providers you have built relationships with. Home care continues as before and there are no changes to long-term care home placement.

Patient services and contacts will remain unchanged until further notice.
