​Family Managed Home Care Program

If you’re eligible, you can receive funding directly to pay for home care services. You are responsible for the related administrative tasks, such as finding, hiring and paying your service providers. Still, you also have the freedom to choose your provider, direct how they care for you or your loved one and set a schedule that best works for you.

This program is available for the following people with home care needs:

  • Children with complex medical needs

  • Adults with an acquired brain injury

  • Home-schooled children with qualifying health care needs
