A new model of Consumer Directed Care (CDC) was recently introduced to home care. This means you now have even more flexibility and choice in selecting your home care provider. You can now also select the exact home care services you want and choose how your home care funds are spent.

If you are not eligible to receive Home Care Package funding from the Government, you can also self-fund your own home care program.
