Funding is typically assessed through a government process, where your needs are evaluated to determine the level of support you can receive. Our team can guide you through the process, explain your funding options and help you understand what services are covered under your plan.

The goal is to help you maintain independence while receiving the support you need in a familiar environment.

Personal care assistance focuses on daily hygiene and individual support needs, so it doesn’t typically include services such as medical treatment, complex nursing care or non-personal tasks like shopping, medication management and social support. These can be arranged separately depending on your care plan, and our team can help connect you with the right services if additional support is required.

Getting started with personal care assistance is a step-by-step process, and our team is here to guide you along the way. First, we’ll help you understand whether you’re eligible for support, which is usually determined through an assessment.
