Wait Times for Home Care Services	This is the median number of days that new clients of publicly funded home care, who are 19 years or older, waited for home care. It is measured from a request for services to their first home visit for those who applied in the community, or from hospital discharge to their first home visit for those who applied in the hospital. A lower number of days is better. Median is the midpoint of days waited; half the clients waited shorter times, half waited longer times. Services include nursing (administering medication and changing dressings), and personal support for complex needs (such as assistance with bathing and eating).	10/01/2019	Home Care, Outcome, Wait Times, Timely, Client Health and Related Information System (CHRIS), Home Care Database (HCD)	Add to compare
