Home and Community Care

The Home and Community Care Program provides member clients with basic care skills such as home care nursing, home care support, and elder care. It is a coordinated system of home and community-based health care services that enable member clients from Gitxsan Health Society’s (GHS) service delivery area of all ages with disabilities, chronic or acute illnesses and the elderly to receive the care they need in their homes and communities.

The program is delivered primarily by trained and certified personal care workers at the community level, supported and supervised by home care nurses.  Home care nursing services include direct service delivery, supervision and teaching of personal care service providers.  Home support personal care services include bathing, grooming, dressing, etc.
