Champlain LHIN Announces Health Care Transportation for Seniors
June 21, 2008
The Champlain LHIN is embarking on an exciting initiative to help seniors stay longer and healthier in their own homes. The investment for this program is significant – after three years, more than $30 million will have been added to our current budget annually.
The strategy involves a shift in emphasis from long-term care home beds to a more comprehensive mix of community-based services for seniors and their caregivers. We plan to enhance traditional services and also to implement new and innovative programs.
Currently, the Champlain LHIN is working hard to organize the new services. For example, we are now determining the number and mix of services to be provided across the region. The Aging at Home strategy officially begins on April 1, 2008.
