Home Care

Fort McKay First Nation provides in-home supportive living care services to people in our community. This helps people receive care at home, rather than in a hospital or long-term care facility. It also promotes independently living in their home while keeping them safe and at home for as long as possible. Home care services are delivered by health care professionals e.g. nurses, HCAs, non-regulated workers, partnering with volunteers, friends and family members.
