Self-Managed Care is one of Home Care’s best kept secrets. It empowers clients to have a say in who they want to provide their care and how they want their care to be done. Have you ever struggled with having different caregivers every shift/day/week? Does the province send caregivers who don’t show up on time or are only assisting with the shower? Are there too many caregivers who have access to your home? Then Self-Managed Care is for you! Self-Managed Care is a way for you to receive funding for care but allows you to determine who will be your service provider on your own terms.
With Self-Managed Care you can choose to use our services for all of your home care needs. With Home Care Assistance you will receive more consistency with caregivers, a care manager and an individualized care plan that can be updated as care needs change, as well as the many other aspects that make Home Care Assistance unique. We are happy to connect with your AHS Case Manager and work together to ensure that all of your care needs are being taken care of so you can enjoy the safe and purposeful life you deserve. We are here to help!
