Home & Community Care
The Home Care program is based on a holistic approach that recognizes that a person's needs are social, emotional, physical and spiritual in nature. The program aims to preserve and maximize the individuals' ability to remain independent as long as possible in their own community. The Home & Community Care program will promote wellness, support the client's ability to take responsibility for his or her own health and prevent or delay the need for institutional care. Integrated and coordinated services will be assessed and implemented in a fair and consistent manner making home and community care accessible to all community members in need.
