As leaders of organizations providing government funded home care in Ontario, we have made the decision to make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for all of our team members. As an integral part of the continuum of care for our clients, we are proud to join our partners across the health system in taking this important step toward ending this pandemic.
We have listened to our clients and their concerned family members, and to our staff, the vast majority of whom have already been vaccinated voluntarily. While the home care sector has remained the safest across the health system, with very little transmission of COVID-19 throughout the pandemic, with the rise of the highly transmissible Delta and other variants, we are choosing to do even more to keep our vulnerable clients and our staff safe.
Together, our 23 companies provide the majority of government funded home care across the province, serving tens of thousands of people in their homes every day. Providing nursing, personal support, rehabilitation and other therapy services, we help people return home from hospital, and we support people to live at home, where they want to be. We recognize the important role we play in the health system, and for this reason, we state the following:
We are extremely proud of our staff who have demonstrated their dedication to our clients over and over through the last many months. Today, we join other healthcare leaders to help build a fully vaccinated health care workforce across the province. Details of our plans to work together to move to full vaccination will be outlined in the coming weeks, as we collaborate with our leaders and team members to implement a smooth and timely process.
