About Us

We are here to help. Ontario Health atHome coordinates in-home and community-based care for thousands of patients across the province every day.

We assess patient care needs, and deliver in-home and community-based services to support your health and well-being. We also provide access and referrals to other community services, and manage Ontario’s long-term care home placement process.

We collaborate with primary care providers, hospitals, Ontario Health Teams and many other health system partners to support high-quality, integrated care planning and delivery.

We help patients, their families and caregivers when they need services, support and guidance to:

Remain safely at home with the support of health and other care professionals
Return home from hospital and recover at home
Find a family doctor or nurse practitioner
Find community services that support healthy, independent living
Transition to long-term care or supportive housing
Die with dignity in the setting of their choice

In addition to our role and responsibilities to provide home and community care services, we are important health system partners actively collaborating and managing emergency response activities such as pandemic response and community, hospital and long-term care home evacuations needed in moments of unforeseen natural disasters such as floods and forest fires.

For information and referrals related to home and community care or long-term care home placement, please call 310-2222 for service in English or 310-2272 for service in French (no area code required).
