Care Watch is closing, but our work continues

On December 31, 2025, Care Watch closed. Our website will remain active in 2026, but financial realities prevent us from continuing operations. We are proud of what we have accomplished and encourage our supporters, partners, and community members to continue standing up for older adults.

A Tribute to Care Watch – Its founders and volunteers

Seniors for Social Action (Ontario) expresses sadness at Care Watch’s closing and also gratitude for our advocacy for older adults. We appreciate SSAO’s support and its continued commitment to home and community care.

Ageing in Place: Using Evidence to Support Older Adults and Their Caregivers. A Care Watch Position Statement

To support ageing in place for older adults, Care Watch calls on policy makers to establish service guidelines, give priority to non-profit providers, and develop strategies to attract, maintain, and expand the home care workforce.

Land Acknowledgement

Care Watch acknowledges that the land on which we now live, work, and play was the site of human activity for many thousands of years before Europeans settled it. We acknowledge Indigenous rights and all the treaties that provide for and influence our shared responsibility. We are responsible for caring for this land, its waterways, and its many peoples across the generations. These responsibilities include fostering health, safety, and support as we age.
