Everyone needs Home and Community Care.
In uncertain times, our sector provides the stability people need in their lives. Seniors and people with disabilities rely on it to live well and safely at home. Families juggling work and caregiving responsibilities need it to maintain balance. Children with complex medical conditions depend on it to attend school and thrive. Volunteers use it to stay active and contribute to their communities. Hospitals and long-term care facilities need it to free up capacity for patients requiring acute or intensive care.
The reality is, everyone needs home and community care.
Demand for home and community care is growing and exceeding supply.
Caregivers, Volunteers and Personal Support Workers are reaching a breaking point.
The wage gap is making it harder to recruit and retain the professionals needed to deliver services.

- Expanding home and community care services to meet growing client and caregiver needs.
- Closing the wage gap for community care workers to ensure a stable and motivated workforce.
