The Community Support Services sector is made up of not-for-profit agencies working to help their clients live independently at home and striving to improve the quality of their life, as well as that of their families. There are 63 CSS agencies funded by the North East LHIN in the region. These agencies also rely on volunteers and fundraising to support the work they provide in the community. Services supporting Northerners living at home or in the community include: help with activities of daily living, health and disability counseling, nursing and health care support, meal services, supportive housing, day programs, hospice and palliative care, caregiver and respite support, outreach/education/training, and transportation services. A website (link below) has been developed to serve as a directory of CSS services offered in the North East. Clients can use the "contact me" option to ask an agency to call or email them regarding a service that is listed. Health Service Providers are asked to use the standardized referral form (available on the website) when referring a client for service. The following are direct links to area services. By clicking on any of them you will be redirected to their Health Line page:
