We need your help to sustain and meet future needs
Community Care programs impact over 6,000 seniors and adults with disabilities and each one of them has a story. Some were born in, or near the same communities they currently reside. Others have travelled from faraway places in order to build their future. They have witnessed some incredible innovations and momentous changes during their lifetimes which has no doubt impacted their experiences in different ways.
Despite their different backgrounds, experiences and these changes, they have one thing in common. They want to stay out of hospitals and long-term care facilities, preferring to remain in the homes and communities that they love for as long as possible.
Like our clients, we at Community Care often reflect on our past, and we do this so that we can build a strong future, if you have not yet donated this year, we hope that you will renew your support to ensure that we sustain and grow in order to meet the future needs of seniors and adults with disabilities in our region.
