Financial Assessment

Individuals wishing to avail of home supports and other benefits are subject to a financial assessment.

What does the financial assessment include?

• Income: Money received by the individual/family including earnings, pensions, insurance, employment insurance, interest, rental and investment income, and other sources.

Depending upon a person’s income,  a person may be required to pay towards the cost of services. Western Health may provide a subsidy towards the overall cost.

The financial assessment is reviewed on an annual basis.

NOTE:  Individuals must avail of all other funding sources (e.g. private health insurance) prior to requesting and receiving funding from Western Health.
