Middlesex London Paramedic Service

Senior Care Path Summary

Middlesex-London Paramedic Service operates a Community Paramedicine for Long-Term Care (CPLTC) program, providing 24/7 non-emergent care in the home for seniors waiting for placement in long-term care, those assessed as eligible for long-term care, or those soon to be eligible. Paramedics undergo specialized training and are authorized to provide primary care services such as vaccinations and other procedures outside their traditional role, working in collaboration with patients' primary care providers and physicians.

The CPLTC program is mandated by the Ministry of Long-Term Care and focuses on delivering care in the comfort of patients' homes rather than in emergency departments or hospitals. Referral criteria include those on long-term care wait lists, those assessed as eligible by Home Community Care Support Services, and individuals with specific conditions that would benefit from community paramedicine support.

A core value of the Community Paramedicine program is to provide additional supports and connections for high-risk or vulnerable individuals while improving equity in healthcare access. The service has expanded to include specialized programs tailored to vulnerable populations across the continuum of care.
