Nursing & Home Care

Nursing and home care coverage assists individuals requiring medical care at home, typically following surgery, illness, or injury. It often includes:

• Visiting nurses for post-hospitalization care, wound care, or injections.
• Coverage for personal support workers to assist with activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing).
• Palliative careservices provided at home for those with terminal illnesses.
• In-home therapies, such as physiotherapy or occupational therapy.
• Respite care to provide relief for family caregivers.
• Coverage usually has daily or annual limits, and may require pre-authorization by the insurer.
