VHA Home HealthCare (VHA) is one of the largest not-for-profit home care providers in Ontario. Our providers tell us: “Home care is where I can truly make a difference. There is such a sense of accomplishment from helping people live independently at home.” Our teams work together to provide high quality, client‑centred care to those who need it most in their homes, schools, retirement homes and other community settings.
