  The Personal Support Worker Program was developed as part of the Ontario government’s plan to reform long-term care and support services which are to people in long-term care facilities or living at home in the community. It is a single training program that replaces and consolidates Health Care Aide and Home Support training. This program standardizes training and provides a solid educational base for workers who provide long-term care and support services both institutional and community settings
