Common questions

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

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

Call Aviora as soon as a discharge date is set - or before, when the procedure is scheduled. A matched caregiver in Guelph 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 Guelph?

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

Does OHIP cover home care after hospital discharge in Guelph?

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.
