About Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA)
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.
