Home First is a philosophy of care that supports patients with complex needs returning home from hospital after an acute illness. With an enhanced level of service provided at home, care needs can best be met, and clients can make appropriate decisions for transitioning to a long term care home or to regular community based services.
The Home First Worker provides assistance with daily living activities, personal care, meal preparation, light homemaking, social interactions, medications, while maintaining a safe environment.
