Choice Healthcare/Homecare is a leading provider of Home and Community Health Services with over 11 years in business across the National Capital Region and Eastern Ontario. Choice Homecare launched Choice Healthcare Inc in 2021 to serve the public-pay sector by becoming the Ontario Health Covid-19 Rapid Response Team in the Champlain region in partnership with The Ottawa Hospital. As retirement and long-term care homes struggled with a shortage of skilled personal support workers during the pandemic, Team Choice personnel filled the gaps. Choice earned accolades from the hospital, the facilities, and the residents’ families for their reliability, competency, and compassion. This recognition for excellence paved the way for Choice Healthcare to secure a contract with Ontario Health atHome (formerly Champlain LHIN) to deliver personal support services.
Recently recognized by Accreditation Canada for “Commitment to providing quality care and community services”, Choice Healthcare provides nurse-managed care and personal support services for those dependent on publicly funded care with the same 5-star care as their private clients.
To meet increasing demands for services, Team Choice is seeking for an outgoing, positively minded Human Resource Administrator to support the company’s mission to provide client-centred, high-quality Healthcare and Homecare services.
The next Team Choice member will be instrumental in supporting a dedicated, diverse and compassionate team of caregivers who are making a difference in the lives of clients and their families.
