Home Support Services
Description: Home Support is care provided in your home by Community Health Workers who are directed by a nurse. Community Health Workers help with things like medications, bathing and dressing for eligible clients who are:
ill or recovering from illness or surgery,
have physical disabilities,
assessed as requiring personal assistance and/or respite for a caregiver, or need care at the end of life.
Home Support does not replace your efforts to care for yourself with help from family, friends and your community, and does not include assistance with general tasks such as grocery shopping, house cleaning or driving to appointments.
How do I get Home Support service? You will need to speak to a Case Manager, who will assess your needs. For more information, please read about accessing services or contact an Island Health Home Health Office near you.
