• Direct Funding Lets You Manage Your Attendant Services. Do you have a physical disability? Do you use or need attendant help? Would you like more control, flexibility and choice in your life? Self-managed attendant services may be for you! There are still spaces available in the Direct Funding program at this time. Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, this innovative program enables adults with physical disabilities to become employers of their own attendants. (Attendants assist with routine activities of living, such as dressing, grooming and bathing.) You would receive monthly funds to manage expenses within an individualized budget. The maximum service amount is 6 hours per day and it is higher for full-time ventilator users. Overnight coverage is also possible using flat rates. See Direct Funding for more details.
