Anyone may request a consultation regardless of whether or not they are required to receive it.
The mission of the Long Term Care Consultation Program is to:
Empower each individual to make informed decisions about the best setting to meet their needs.
Provide information about the options available to meet all your long-term needs and what factors to consider when making long-term care decisions.
Explore all service alternatives, regardless of a specific service setting being sought by the individual.
