Strengthening Home Care Services
As part of the McGuinty government's record $1.3 billion investment in home care services this year, we are today providing $73.2 million in new funding to Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) across the province for acute home care, end-of-life care, and chronic home care services. We are also committed to investing $10 million through a not-for-profit agency to help patients and their families acquire medical equipment for home use.
