Community-based support for families is where VHA Home HealthCare (VHA) started in 1925, providing homemaking services for families when the mother was ill. Today, we deliver a broad range of in-home, mental health, physical and social services for individuals and families in urgent need. Through a committed team of caring professionals and our extensive community networks, we offer a continuum of supports through five service areas.

- Skilled in strategies to de-escalate situations and to work with clients who are living with dementia or with mental health challenges impacting their independence
