Common questions

Hospital-to-Home Care in Ajax: questions families ask

How do I arrange home care after leaving hospital in Ajax?

Call Aviora as soon as a discharge date is set - or before, when the procedure is scheduled. A matched caregiver in Ajax can be confirmed within 24–48 hours, ready for discharge day. No hospital referral or public system registration required.

When should I arrange hospital-to-home care in Ajax?

Before the discharge date - ideally when the surgery or hospital admission date is known. Discharge planning at hospitals in Ajax moves quickly; waiting until the day before leaves little time to arrange private care.

Does OHIP cover home care after hospital discharge in Ajax?

OHIP covers medical services. Post-discharge PSW support is funded through Ontario Health atHome based on assessed need, but may not begin immediately on discharge day. Private home care from Aviora starts the day the person arrives home.
