At Home and Community Care - Peninsula Health

At Home is a collection of services that provide care in a patient’s home and/or community.

At Home can provide various services spanning rehabilitation, cancer care, general medical care, palliative care, general allied health, and care coordination, among many others.  Brokered services are included such as respite or domestic care.
