What types of services are included in Family-Managed Home Care?

FMHC funding can be used to hire Personal Support Workers (PSWs), nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other approved healthcare providers. Additionally, you can hire a bookkeeper to assist with FMHC-related reporting. Personal expenses such as rent, groceries, and other non-care-related costs are not covered.

What is the cost of hiring a bookkeeper for FMHC?

There is no additional cost for bookkeeping services, as the expense is included in your FMHC funding.

Is Carnation Consulting eligible to be my bookkeeper for FMHC?

Yes. Our firm has all the requirements set forth by Ontario Health atHome including but not limited to CPA designation, National Payroll institution membership, Business number and proof of Insurance.

How much financial support is available?

The amount of funding depends on the individual's care needs and the required hours of support. Ontario Health atHome will assess the situation and determine the appropriate funding based on the evaluation.

Can I employ a family member as a caregiver?

Yes, family members can be paid as caregivers under FMHC, provided they meet the eligibility criteria and are delivering direct care services.

What duties do I have as a family manager?

As a family manager, you are responsible for recruiting, hiring, and training caregivers, managing payroll, submitting documentation, and ensuring compliance with Ontario Health atHome requirements.

Is Family-Managed Home Care available throughout Ontario?

Yes, FMHC is available across Ontario, although funding availability and eligibility criteria may vary depending on the region.

What happens if the care needs change over time?

If care needs increase, families can request a reassessment from Ontario Health atHome to determine if additional funding or services are necessary.

What we do

FMHC Bookkeeping Services in Vaughan

CPA-led bookkeeping built around Ontario Health atHome’s FMHC reporting requirements.

What’s included

Transaction recording. Every deposit and payment in your FMHC bank account recorded and categorized against your approved plan of service.
Monthly expense reports. Your monthly submission prepared in the format Ontario Health atHome requires, with receipts and invoices matched to each line.
Caregiver payroll. Payroll for the care providers you employ, including CPP, EI and income tax source deductions, remittances to the CRA and year-end T4s.
Reconciliations. Monthly bank reconciliations and a running funding balance, so you always know what is left in your budget.
Audit-ready records. Organized files you can hand to your care coordinator or a reviewer at any time.

Organized for reporting

Our reports follow the FMHC funding rules in your agreement, and every figure is supported by a receipt, timesheet or reconciliation. If Ontario Health atHome asks a question, your records are organized and ready.

Employer obligations in Ontario

When you employ caregivers directly under FMHC, you generally have obligations under federal and Ontario rules: CPP, EI and income tax source deductions remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency; vacation and public holiday pay under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act; and WSIB coverage for a domestic worker you employ for more than 24 hours a week. We keep your payroll and records in line with these requirements. This is general information; your FMHC agreement and the relevant agencies set the rules for your situation.
