Questions to ask when considering Family-Managed Health Care

Considering Family-Managed Home Care in Ontario? A Nurse’s Guide to Doing It Right

  • par

Ontario Health atHome’s Family-Managed Home Care (FMHC) program gives families more flexibility and control over home care services. As a nurse, I’ve seen this funding model work extremely well — particularly for families who want continuity of caregivers and more involvement in decision-making.

However, it’s important to fully understand what FMHC involves before deciding if it’s the right choice for your loved one.

If you’re exploring Family-Managed Home Care in Ontario, here are the key things to consider.

Nurse advocate

What Does a Nurse Advocate Really Do?

When people hear the term nurse advocate, they often pause. Is it case management? Is it private nursing? Is it someone who challenges doctors? The truth is much simpler — and much more human. At its core, nurse advocacy is about this: Helping people feel supported, informed, and respected during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

Independence does not need to waiver as you get older. Older adults are at risk of becoming dependent on their caregiver to maintain their quality of life. As caregivers, it is our job to encourage seniors to do as much as they are capable of in order to promote their independence.

Healthy Eating

As you age your nutritional needs may change, as may your eating habits. Things such as calories consumed, your appetite and home life may be things that change over time. Other factors such as medications, medical conditions and oral health may be contributing factors as to why your diet will change.

Que disent les gens ?

Choosing a caregiving agency for a loved one is not an easy decision. After trying a few different options, we were incredibly fortunate to find Freiheit Care. From our very first phone call, we have been treated with kindness, respect, understanding, and professionalism. Freiheit Care has been a blessing for our family, and I recommend them without hesitation to anyone navigating the challenges of elder care.

Freiheit recently provided respite care in our home to allow my husband and I to take our first trip in 20+ years. They cared for our intellectually disabled son, teenaged daughter and our dog which allowed us to travel without worry. Highly recommend Freiheit for respite care.
