Aging at Home (AAH), as initially announced in 2007, is a program that provides a continuum of community-based services for seniors and their caregivers to allow them to stay healthy and live independently and with dignity in their homes. The strategy also aims to decrease the number of alternate level of care (ALC) patients in Ontario hospitals. ALC patients are individuals who are occupying acute care beds in hospitals, but would be better cared for in another setting — whether it be their own homes or long-term care homes. This year, the Central West LHIN is receiving $10,712,855 to fund local programs that provide health services to seniors in the comfort and dignity of their own home, allowing them to lead healthy and independent lives while avoiding unnecessary visits to hospitals.
