Association Advocacy
An efficient and effective publicly funded home care
system appropriately includes and integrates all mem-
bers of the team to achieve value and to assist Ontar-
ians to remain independent at home. Safe, reliable,
privately funded home care services can offer addi-
tional capacity to the system and provide even more
choice to Ontarians. The full array of home care servic-
es, including access to case management, family phy-
sicians, nursing, therapies, community pharmacists,
and personal and community support are essential to
support good health outcomes.
Home Care Ontario will continue to serve as the voice
for home care in Ontario advocating for “more nights
at home” for all Ontarians. On behalf of all Ontarians,
the Association will continue to champion excellence
in home and community care, working collaboratively
with health system stakeholders to create seamless
transitions within and across publicly and privately
funded providers of health care.
