Our goal is to help you live safely at home, for as long as possible. We will assess your needs for care, work with you to find the right supports, and authorize and arrange your services. Continuing Care Coordinators guide clients and families along the way and are the main contact for accessing programs, services and more detailed information.

New Health Information System

Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system has rolled out at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program services.

During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.

You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
