I'm going to speak about our adult home care program. It's currently funded under Indigenous Services Canada to help our home care service workers who work within that program, primarily providing home cleaning, meal preparation, transport to social activities and companionship. These activities obviously help to allow many of our clients and members the opportunity to maintain their independence within the community.
Within that we run our home and community care program. These services are needed to support and often use simultaneous support from family members as well. Our team of six people includes one registered nurse, one manager and four home care aides. They support the day-to-day operation of the health services department with two additional on-call health care aides to assist when others aren't able to attend.
The goal of home care services is to keep our clients physically independent, safe and at home as long as possible. The home and community care program is funded through the First Nations Health Authority.
The team provides an opportunity for clients to continue living in their homes, even those with complex health conditions. They add an additional challenge to the team, and we are able to provide them with personal care, medical monitoring, assistance in eating and dressing, and therapeutic care, including exercise interventions to help reduce falls and some light home management and repair to keep homes safe. We also provide transportation to medical appointments.
Our health services program has additional supports for our clients and elderly population. They come to our band clinic to help with foot care, bathing and a drop-in day program. We also provide services for wound care, nursing assessments and referrals, and we offer monthly pharmacy reviews. We also help to provide hospital discharge planning, respite care, medical equipment support and health promotion activities. But that's only done by a few people and obviously the challenges become bigger as we have more and more people entering our home care program.
Currently in 2018, our community care members have accessed approximately 145 members of our community who have sought the help and assistance of our health care services through the community care program. Twenty-seven of those individuals are enrolled through our adult home care and 24 individuals are registered through our home and community care program with an additional 63 individuals accessing regular home care, nursing specific for wound care, physical assessments, intravenous treatments and injections.
