Community Care Access Centres connect people with the care they need,
at home and in their communities
CCACs help people find their way through Ontario’s health care system, understand their options and connect them to quality community based health care and resources.
Assisting people of all ages and cultures, whatever the diagnosis, CCACs plan, coordinate and ensure the delivery of a full-range of in-home and community-based services to support clients and their caregivers. We arrange for quality health-care professionals – nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, registered dietitians, occupational therapists, speech therapists and personal support workers – to provide a range of care and supportive services to assist people at home and allow them to enjoy the best possible quality of life.
CCACs throughout Ontario have provided quality care
within a client-centred philosophy
We have helped thousands of people by arranging for the delivery of health support services in their homes, schools, work environments, community health centres and shelters. Today, community-based care is the fastest growing area of health care in Canada.
Join the front lines
The CCACs of Ontario offer health care professionals the opportunity to join the front lines of community care and make a real difference in people's lives. We provide services in both official languages, and offer competitive salaries, impressive benefits and continuing education initiatives. Working with us, you'll get the chance to use creativity and autonomy in decision-making, and most importantly, you'll get to see the results of your efforts every step of the way.
As part of the current health care transformation across the Province, Local Health Integration Networks (LHINS) are a recent addition to our local health care systems. CCACs across the province are aligned to the geographic boundaries of the LHINS, based on the belief that community-based care is best planned, coordinated and funded in an integrated way at all levels.
In total, there are 14 CCACs in communities across Ontario that are funded by Local Health Integration Networks through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. This means that CCAC advice and services are covered by OHIP.
