We are committed to informing you about how we plan to deliver services to meet the needs of our communities. We are governed by a board of directors appointed by the provincial government. Our executive team leads the delivery of services. We provide services through a network of hospitals, clinics, centres, health units, and residential facilities. Specialized short-term care at local hospitals and health centres. Treatment and services for infants, children, youth and parents. Help for adults and seniors with health issues in a variety of settings. Prevention, treatment and ongoing care for people with mental health and substance use issues. Maximizing client wellness and their ability to care for themselves is our focus. Our services supplement, but do not replace clients' efforts to care for themselves with the assistance of their family, friends and the community. The services that a client is eligible for are based on a standard assessment of needs. Services may be provided on a short or long term basis, and may change as the clients' needs change. Together clients, family and home care professionals create a plan to help clients live safely and comfortably at home and prevent unnecessary hospital visits. Home and Community Care also acts as a bridge between home and other care settings. These settings may include hospital, residential care, assisted living, a doctor's office, Victoria Hospice and other primary care settings.
