The Priority Home Service is a centralized Home Care service team that provides short term intensive case management, rehabilitation, restorative care and other necessary supports for up to 90 days at a time when a client requires a temporary increase of service.
Home Care services will be provided to clients who have been in hospital and who are eligible and/or waiting for LTC placement or are otherwise at risk.
The service will also provide short term support to clients deemed as community urgent or for those needing urgent placement directly from the emergency department.
The objectives of this team will be to enable clients to remain in their home for as long as possible and when required, transition to LTC from the community as opposed to waiting for this placement while in hospital.
The model also helps family caregivers continue in their caregiving role for as long as safely possible.
