Designated buildings (Hubs): PSWs are located onsite and deliver services to eligible seniors in their individual units, apartments or condos within the building
Designated neighbourhoods (Hub and Spoke): In designated neighbourhoods, the Supports for Daily Living service provider has an onsite office in a building that services seniors who live there, but also provides services to eligible seniors who live in neighbouring apartment buildings, town homes, condos or homes within close proximity to the building
Mobile service: focuses on getting high risk seniors who are being discharged from hospital home quickly regardless of where they live * SDL service providers travel throughout the region to deliver services until seniors are stabilized at home, then transition seniors to other community partners including other Supports for Daily Living service providers, Ontario Health atHome, or a combination of services that can address a senior’s needs
