What is new in Circle of Care?

As of April 1, 2010 the integration of the Primary Care – Essential Services will be fully implemented. What was formally "The Home and Community Care Program" and "Community Support Services" will now be combined into the "Circle of Care" These programs have been undergoing recent position change, including some change of office locations over the past few months but this will have no direct impact on your service.

All services can now be accessed with one quick phone call to the intake worker. She will begin the formal process and each request will be referred immediately to the Case Manager at the Beausoleil Family Health Centre. The Case Manager will follow up within 48 hours after the initial contact and appointments will be scheduled to complete the application and/or assessment to determine the needs of service and eligibility. Emergency situations will be dealt with immediately on an individual basis. The Circle of Care will continue to offer the residents of Beausoleil First Nation and its community members the same exceptional quality of care and services that it is known for.
