Understanding Home Care in Quebec
The Quebec public home care network represents several billion dollars in annual spending. These services allow thousands of Quebecers to maintain their autonomy at home rather than being housed in an institution.
What is autonomy support?
The program to support the autonomy of seniors (SAPA) is the most important component of home care services. It includes nursing care, assistance with daily living activities, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy provided at home.
Disparities between regions
Large urban areas like Montreal and Montérégie concentrate the majority of spending in absolute value. However, remote regions like Côte-Nord or Gaspésie face particular accessibility challenges due to their low population density.
Public vs. Private Home Care Services
The public network offers services based on defined eligibility criteria. For additional needs or services not covered by the public network, private organizations like UVO Home Care offer a wide range of nursing and home care services.
Need supplementary home care beyond the public network? UVO by Clinique Omicron offers nursing and medical home care throughout Quebec.
