Helps to facilitate the discharge of patients ready to leave the hospital who face barriers to a smooth transition from hospital to home.

A Personal Support Worker (PSW) will meet you at your home once you arrive there from the hospital, pick up medications and/or groceries, provide a light meal or meal preparation, and provide personal care or homemaking services. There is a follow-up phone call shortly after the settlement home to check on well-being and make referrals to other services.

Clients will be assessed for barriers to discharge from the hospital and may receive help for a limited period of time with services such as meals, transportation, emergency response, respite, and one-time expenses such as the purchase or rental of mobility equipment.
