The French Language Services in home care Research Project was initiated by the PEI French Health Network (PEIFHN), and is part of the Network's ongoing work with respect to strengthening the delivery of French language services. The Project was designed to conduct background research into the nature and scope of needs of an aging Francophone population, with a particular focus on residents who require home care services to support them to remain in their home, and home community for as long as possible. The overall intent is to identify possible service delivery methods and approaches that could strengthen the delivery of French language services within the province's Home Care Program. The primary research activities included: a review of the latest Census data to describe the current profile and distribution of the Island's Francophone population by Francophone region; a review of relevant health care documents and reports; a series of community consultations; interviews and consultation sessions with home care managers and staff; an interview with the Public Health Nurse at the Evangeline Health Care Centre in Wellington; and an interview with a Francophone Family Physician. Recommendations are being made to ensure a more visible and consistent provision of French language services.
