When you need home care in Toronto, you’re not just dealing with one health issue. You’re trying to coordinate between family doctors, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies, and community services – all while managing the overwhelming stress of caregiving.
The result? Most Toronto families feel lost, disconnected, and like they’re constantly falling through healthcare cracks.
You’ve probably experienced the frustration of:
- Repeating your loved one’s medical history to multiple providers who don’t communicate
- Struggling to find available community resources and support programs
- Facing confusing transitions between hospital, home care, and specialist appointments
- Wondering what services exist that you don’t even know about
- Worrying that critical health information isn’t reaching the right care providers
Healthcare coordination shouldn’t be your full-time job – especially when you’re already caring for a loved one.
How Our East Toronto Health Partners Membership Changes Everything
Our Home Instead Woodbine location is a proud partner in East Toronto Health Partners (ETHP) – Ontario’s largest integrated healthcare network serving over 300,000 East Toronto residents through 100+ connected organizations.
Since joining ETHP in 2019, we’ve helped coordinate care for over 400 Toronto families, reducing hospital readmissions by 23% and improving care satisfaction scores by 31% through our connected approach.
What ETHP Partnership Means for Your Family’s Care
Connected Care That Actually Connects
Instead of navigating Toronto’s healthcare maze alone, you benefit from a coordinated network where your family doctor, specialists, our home care team, Michael Garron Hospital, community health centers, and social services all share information and work together.
Real example: When Mr. Patel was discharged from Michael Garron Hospital after heart surgery, our ETHP connection meant his transition plan was already coordinated between his cardiologist, our home care team, and his family physician – no gaps, no confusion.
Access to Toronto’s Largest Health & Social Services Directory
Through ETHP’s comprehensive service directory, you have instant access to over 2,000 verified health, social, and community services across Toronto. No more wondering what’s available or spending hours researching options.
The directory includes:
- Specialized healthcare providers
- Community support programs
- Mental health and addiction services
- Housing and financial assistance resources
- Transportation and mobility services
Coordinated Care Plans Across All Providers
Your care isn’t managed in isolation. As part of ETHP’s integrated care approach, we develop coordinated care plans that address all your health and social needs, not just our home care services.
Our care coordinators work directly with:
- Primary care physicians for medical oversight
- Specialist teams for complex conditions
- Hospital discharge planners for smooth transitions

- Social services for family resources
