Home And Community Care Support Services

Ontario’s 14 Home and Community Care Support Services organizations coordinate in-home and community-based care for over 400,000 patients every month. Our mission is to help everyone be healthier at home through connected, accessible, patient-centred care. We assess patient care needs, and deliver home and community care, including community nursing clinics, and manage the long-term care home placement process. We also provide access and referrals to other community services. We collaborate with other health system partners - Ontario Health Teams, hospitals, primary care providers, long-term care and retirement homes, and others - to enable integrated patient care and enhanced system performance. For information and referrals related to home and community care or to learn more about long-term care home placement services, please call 310-2222 (English) or 310-2272 (French), no area code is required.
