The Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA) is the voice of the home and community support sector. Across the province each year, more than one million people receive home care and community support services (CSS) such as in-home nursing, therapy and personal support, Meals on Wheels®, adult/Alzheimer day programs, transportation to medical appointments, respite for family caregivers, hospice

/palliative care, supportive housing and attendant services for persons with disabilities. These services are important, cost-effective measures that prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, emergency room visits and premature institutionalization. OCSA’s members provide home care services contracted by Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) and community support services directly funded by the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) in Ontario.

Community transportation services help seniors access healthcare, stay connected to their communities, and maintain their independence.

Across Ontario, transportation providers are experiencing growing operational pressures that are affecting the sustainability, affordability, and accessibility of these essential services.

As demand continues to grow, strengthening community transportation will be critical to ensuring seniors can continue accessing the care, programs, and supports they rely on.
