Ontario’s Self-Directed Care Organization (SDCO) is in its start-up phase and is an operational service delivery agency of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Specifically, SDCO is responsible for promoting and providing flexibility for clients or their substitute decision-makers with respect to the following:
- Choice of personal support worker to provide the client’s personal support services and;
- Scheduling when the personal support worker provides personal support services to the client.
SDCO operates in the home care sector and is required to work with the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) to provide services to eligible clients.
SDCO directly employs Personal Support Workers and other administrative positions and ensures a high quality standard of service. Examples of the agency’s operational tasks include the following:
- Directly recruit, screen, and employ PSWs;
- Work with LHINs to receive client referrals and provide services according to each client’s plan of service determined by their LHIN;
- Manage client intake and matching with PSWs; and
- Work with clients and caregivers to facilitate client scheduling of services and delivery of PSW services in the home
SDCO will begin delivering initial services to select areas in the province by Spring 2018 with province wide services to be fully implemented in 2021.
