Personal Support Workers (PSWs) assist clients with daily living activities, promoting independence and preventing institutionalization. They monitor and report changes in client behavior and condition while following care plans and client preferences.
VHA Home HealthCare (VHA) is one of the largest not-for-profit home care providers in Ontario.
Our team is made up of close to 3,000 caring and committed professionals who love what they do.
Our providers tell us: “Home care is where I can truly make a difference.
There is such a sense of accomplishment from helping people live independently at home.” Our teams work together to provide high quality, client-centred care to those who need it most in their homes, schools, retirement homes and other community settings.
Many of our team members manage their own schedules in the community and they say, “The freedom and flexibility can’t be beat.” Providers form meaningful bonds with the clients and families they serve over time and are supported by a diverse regional team and beneficial home office programs.
Team members tell us “I love the inclusive culture.
I feel welcome and at home.”
