Aging at Home Strategy
What is the Aging at Home Strategy?
Ontario’s population is aging – recent estimates project the seniors’ population to double in the next 16 years. It is therefore becoming vitally important to ensure that there are resources available to assist those who wish to remain at home.
Through the Aging at Home Strategy, community living options for seniors will expand dramatically, with a wider range of home care and community support services available to enable people to continue leading healthy and independent lives in their own homes. More than $700 million in funding over three years will be invested through the province’s 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs).
It is the LHINs who are leading this initiative by identifying and providing funding for enhanced home care and community support services, as well as for innovative projects specific to their LHIN.
Twenty per cent of the funding is earmarked for innovative projects. The idea behind this strategy is to invite proposals for new projects to support non-traditional partnerships and new preventive and wellness services. This will provide new opportunities for LHINs to better serve the province’s culturally diverse populations and increase equity and access for all of Ontario’s seniors.
Decisions about how the funding is used will be at the discretion of each LHIN, to ensure that resulting programs and services are based on local communities&rsquo needs and priorities. We invite you to get involved!
