Getting Care

North West LHIN Home and Community Care provides a wide-range of health-care services and resources to support you at home, at school or in the community. Through personal visits and regular check-ins, the North West LHIN will help determine the right care and health supports for you and provide you with the care you need.

The North West LHIN has divided its services into helpful groupings, based on where you might receive your care. However, many patients require more than one service, in more than one location. For example, an older senior may participate in an adult day program and may also be receiving nursing support at home. Or, a young student may be receiving care at school and also at home.

We encourage you to browse through the descriptions and read the Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any additional questions or would like more information, contact us and we'll be very happy to help.

Long-term care

Long-term care may become an option if you are finding it too difficult to live independently at home even with other supports in place. We can help you find more appropriate living arrangements in a long-term care home, and support you and your family to make the best decisions to meet your needs.
