Funding

What the province covers

Ontario Health atHome funds PSW visits, typically a few hours a week.

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.
