Funding

What the province covers

Not publicly funded. Live-in is billed daily; 24-hour shift care is billed hourly.

Publicly funded home care is arranged through Ontario Health atHome after an assessment. Most clients receive 3–10 hours a week in total across all services, so families commonly buy private hours around a funded core.
