Home care nurses play a critical role in helping Ontarians recover safely at home, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, and delay or prevent long-term care placement. With 96% of Canadians aged 65+ wanting to avoid long-term care, home care nursing is essential to supporting independence and aging where people want to be most, at home.

Home care is also a cost-effective solution, costing approximately half as much as long term care and one-eighth the cost of a hospital bed.

This Nursing Week, we recognize home care nurses for the essential role they play in strengthening healthcare, supporting communities, and delivering care where it matters most. From all at CHATS-Community & Home Assistance to Seniors, we thank you for your dedication to your profession and community.
