Scarborough Ontario Health Team (OHT) COVID-19 Community Support
27 April 2020 -- During the unpredictable time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scarborough Ontario Health Team (OHT) has recognized that there will be vulnerable persons left without sufficient support in the Scarborough community, as access to programs are limited due to closures across various agencies.
In order to better serve our Scarborough community, the four Scarborough community support services agencies (Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities, TransCare®, SPLC and CareFirst) have joined efforts to have a central intake telephone line. Services for referral may include:
- Respite Care/Personal Support
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Grocery Shopping/Medication Delivery
- Case Management/Care Coordination
- Meals on Wheels
Scarborough Central Intake Telephone Line:
(416)736-9372 or 1-888-834-8776
