Home Health Care Services + Medical Supplies

AgTa Home Health Care and Nursing Inc. provides a wide range of support services to people in South Central Ontario.

In addition to our Rehabilitation/Therapy Support Workers, AgTa has developed a roster of highly skilled and highly trained Personal Support Workers (PSW) through our extensive experience in caring for people who have suffered from an Acquired Brain Injury, Substance Abuse and Cognitive Impairments. These specialized PSW's are trained to work with such clients and they understand their role within the Rehabilitation Team.

Our Rehabilitation/Therapy Support Workers assist the client to achieve their rehabilitation goals once the regulated health care professionals or Rehabilitation Team have developed an individualized treatment plan. By using compensatory and remedial approaches set out by the regulated health professional team they assist the client in regaining independence within their home and community. They facilitate the client's functional independence through specified goals and programs as directed by the attending Rehabilitation Team.

Goals and Programs developed may include

Behavioral interventions
Social networking
Safety programs
Physical therapy
Education reintegration
Vocational reintegration
Activities of daily living (ADL)
Home management
Cognitive remediation
Family education
Recreation and leisure
Financial management

Coordinate Care

At AgTa, we believe that being able to provide both Rehabilitation/Therapy Support Work and Specialized Personal Support Work supervised and coordinated by the same Service Supervisor will be a huge asset in achieving success of any goals placed on clients by their Rehabilitation Team. If the need arises for the PSW to be introduced along side a Rehabilitation/Therapy Support Worker, the lines of communication will be clearer and therefore much more successful when both disciplines come from the same organization. The rewards of such a coordinated effort are endless and the benefits to the client are boundless.
