What could this look like?
Who receives and delivers homecare
In this short clip, Sandra McKay speaks about a project led by the non-profit organization, VHA Home Healthcare:
“We have stories about the need and the value that home care can deliver. What we need is more data. We need hard numbers so that we can make better decisions.”

We do our best to support as many eligible organizations as possible with the capacity we have. If funding or staff time run low, we may have to postpone your request for the following year.
Sometimes, questions may not be feasible to answer with the data we have. If this is the case, we will connect with you to see if we can tweak the question into one that ICES data can answer.
The analysis can be used to:
- Improve your programs and services.
- Apply for grant funding.
- Support awareness campaigns and draw attention to your cause.
