The Model of Care
In partnership with the individual, a Support Service Coordinator develops a customized care plan. The care plan outlines service details and times, based on identified needs and scheduling criteria. Personal support and homemaking services are provided on a pre-scheduled and emergency response basis.
Personal support services may include:
- Bathing
- Toileting/washroom assistance
- Dressing/undressing
- Medication assistance (limited scope)
- Transferring/positioning/turning
- Personal hygiene, mouth and dental care, preventative skin care
- Meal preparation and meal time support
- Safety checks
- Light house keeping, garbage disposal, changing bedding, laundry
To be eligible for services older adults must be:
- Demonstrate a need for daily access to personal support services
- Be able to communicate and direct their own care or have a substitute decision-maker/ live-in caregiver to direct care
- Be medically stable
Note: There are limitations to the types and amounts of assistance based on program eligibility criteria and service maximums.
