​

YOUR PERMISSION

​

At the start of your care, we will ask you to sign a Client Consent, giving us your expressed written consent for all aspects of the service. This may include such things as conducting an assessment, providing your care and asking your permission regarding the release of information. All of this will be discussed with you by our Care Coordinators. Please let us know if there is anyone with whom you do not want your information, in part or in whole to be released to, and we will note this.

​

Your consent is considered valid through to the end of your service, provided the reasons for the approval haven’t changed. You may withdraw your permission or consent in part or whole, however, at any time during your care and service. Should this occur, our Company staff will inform you of the implications of that withdrawal.

​

For those individuals who are unable to provide consent, e.g., minors, those who are seriously ill or mentally disabled persons, permission will be obtained by an authorized authority, e.g., legal guardian, power of attorney or the executor of your estate.

​

BF Home Care Inc Company will seek your consent to disclose personal information outside of the multidisciplinary team or “circle of care” when appropriate access requests are received.
