Chasing documents quietly delays care starts
Every incomplete file is coordinator time not spent matching PSWs to clients.
Functional
Health card in email, medication list as a photo, physician info missing — care start slips while coordinators chase documents across text, fax, and shared drives.
Emotional
Incomplete CPIC or expired vulnerable sector check on file — you know Ontario Health risk assessments ask for proof, but paper HR folders do not show status at a glance.
Financial
Every follow-up call is an hour not spent matching PSWs to clients. Incomplete intake delays revenue for private-pay agencies with no provincial licence buffer.
How do home care agencies collect intake documents?
Five steps: build a checklist, open a file, share to my-id.ca, track gaps, export a compliance package.
Build a checklist
Start from the free Ontario intake PDF or create your own client admission, family intake, or PSW hiring checklist.
Open a client or staff file
Attach the checklist to the record your coordinator manages.
Share and collect
Share the checklist; families and PSWs can upload via a secure guest link (no account needed — they verify email with a one-time code) or sign in to the my-id.ca portal; coordinator can add files received by fax/email.
Track the gaps
See completed vs outstanding items; approve or reject submissions.
Export the package
PDF summary for compliance review, billing, or upload to AlayaCare/CellTrak.

Client admission, PSW screening, and Ontario Health atHome record-keeping prep.
New client admission

Family / SDM intake
POA verification, substitute decision-maker records, hospital discharge package, LTCI authorization.
PSW hiring & onboarding

Client + staff file separation

Share checklist to my-id portal
Families and PSWs upload per item via secure guest link (no account needed) or the encrypted my-id.ca portal.
