Care Watch’s mandate is to promote high quality, affordable, and equitable home and community services for Ontario’s older adults. Our primary strategy is advocacy: influencing public policy. We fight for high quality, publicly funded programs that make it possible for ageing Ontarians – including the frail elderly, the chronically ill, and those with disabilities – to remain in their homes and actively involved in their communities as long as possible.

We also:

• Engage diverse groups of older adults, allied organizations, and the public in shaping public policy about preventive and supportive home and community services
• Encourage users of home and community services to participate in all aspects of their care and to speak out about the successes and failures they experience
• Raise community awareness about changes in home and community support services

You can advocate and make your views known to officials and the media.
