Government Subsidies & Home Care Support

At Watch and Care we understand that navigating the cost of senior care can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make compassionate, professional home-care services accessible and affordable for every family in Ottawa and across Ontario.
Understanding How Subsidies Work
In Ontario, government funding covers personal care and nursing services only for residents in long-term care homes, where accommodation and meals are paid separately by the resident.
For seniors living in retirement homes or their own homes, most personal care services (such as help with bathing, dressing, mobility, or meals) are considered private pay.
However, families may be eligible for partial government support through Home and Community Care Support Services (HCCSS) or other local programs.
If you wish to explore these programs, you can contact:
Home and Community Care Support Services Champlain
Phone: 310-2222 (no area code required within Ontario)

They will evaluate your situation and explain which government programs or subsidies may apply to your loved one.
