Family Managed Home Care (FMHC) in Ontario

Family Managed Home Care (FMHC) gives families something traditional home‑care models often struggle to provide — control, flexibility, and true personalization. FMHC matters because it allows families to:

• choose caregivers who understand their loved one’s needs
• build schedules that fit their daily routines
• ensure cultural, linguistic, and personal preferences are respected
• maintain continuity of care with the same trusted caregivers
• participate actively in care planning and decision‑making

For many families, FMHC is not just a funding model — it is a way to ensure their loved one receives care that feels dignified, consistent, and truly person‑centered.

The FMHC program allows families to manage their own care services using funding provided by Ontario Health. Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Assessment by Ontario Health A Care Coordinator evaluates your loved one’s needs and develops a Plan of Service.
2. Referral to FMHC Once you express interest, your Care Coordinator submits a referral to the FMHC program.
3. FMHC Onboarding You meet with an FMHC Coordinator, receive your onboarding checklist, and begin preparing required documents.
4. Agreement & Funding Activation After your documents are approved, you sign the FMHC agreement and funding is activated.
5. Care Begins You choose your preferred service provider — such as Lifetime CarePros — and care services begin according to your schedule and care plan.
