The Canadian Home Care Association defines home care as an array of services, provided in the home and community setting, that encompass health promotion and teaching, curative intervention, end-of-life care, rehabilitation, support and maintenance, social adaptation and integration, and support for the informal (family) caregiver.
Home care services are for infants, children and adults.
Home care programs often integrate the delivery of health care services in the home setting with community services (e.g. meals on wheels, day programs, respite care facilities, volunteer services, and transportation services).
The dynamic landscape of the 21st century presents us with the unique challenge of putting the health care "pieces" together in a coordinated and efficient way to meet the growing demands of Canadians now and in the future.
The Canadian Home Care Association has accepted this challenge and is working with stakeholders across the country to build awareness of the role and importance of home care within our health system and bring value to our membership across Canada.
