What it does
The objective of the Home and Community Care Program is to provide home and community care services to First Nations and Inuit. The needs for services are significant given the high rates of chronic diseases and disabilities, the reliance on home care services when releasing clients from hospital settings, and the overall growth among the target populations. Key Home and Community Care services include: 1) essential services (including client assessments, case management, nursing, personal and supportive care, in-home respite, and linkages and referrals to other health and social services); and, 2) supportive services (that may include rehabilitation and other therapies, in-home palliative care, adult day care, meal programs, and in-home mental health care). programs and external partners. Home and Community Care works closely with Healthy Living programming to deliver training to nurses on chronic disease management strategies.

| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home and Community Care | Earlier program (name match, high confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $147M |
| Home and Community Care | This program | 2019-20 – 2024-25 | $767M |
| Home and Long-term Care | Later program (name match, low confidence) | 2023-24 – 2028-29 | $830M |
Significant changes in scope and budget
