Challenges and Perspectives
With an aging population, the demand for home care services continues to rise. Quebec now allocates nearly 40% of its long-term care expenditures to home support services, reflecting a commitment to prioritize keeping individuals with reduced autonomy in their homes.

However, challenges remain, particularly in reducing waiting lists and adapting services to meet the growing needs of the population. The objectives set by the MSSS aim to address these issues by improving the accessibility and quality of home care services.
In conclusion, home care in Montreal is a cornerstone of the healthcare system, offering a valuable alternative to hospitalization and contributing to the well-being of individuals with reduced autonomy. Ongoing efforts to enhance these services are vital to meeting the needs of an aging and diverse population.
