Eligible individuals may receive help with bathing, dressing, mobility and other daily-living activities.
Therapy services

Care coordination
An Ontario Health atHome coordinator assesses needs and organizes approved services.
Family Managed Home Care

Public and Private Care
Different pathways can work together.
Government-funded home care depends on qualification and an assessment. The services and hours available depend on assessed needs and local availability. Some community support services may involve a client fee.
Private care can provide additional flexibility and may complement public services when a family needs more support.
