As the above little ditty tells us there is an alternative to hospital care, for selected pat- ients, on the decision of their family physician. If your family physician feels that you can receive the nec- essary care required to make you better using the services provided by the Home Care Program then you can receive care at home. The selection of patients for Home Care is based on the availabilityof services -required, with the resources needed and willingness of the patient and their family to receive their care at house. Every patient accepted for Mome Care must have OHIP coverage, the same as if enter- ing a hospital, then there is no charge for the services provided by the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Physiotherapist, the Occupational therapist or Homemaker when the services are needed.

When a patient can be assured of competent care at home by the necessary professional, coupled with the encouragement and support of the family in one's own environment, it provides a sound formula for effective health care.
