About CHATS
Home care and community support for seniors
Launched in 1980 by a caring group of community members, CHATS originated as a grassroots not-for-profit charitable organization that provided a few basic services to help seniors to continue living in their own homes. Over the years, CHATS has grown and evolved, and now offers a full range of home care and community programs that meet the changing needs of more than 6,800 York Region, Bradford West Gwillimbury and New Tecumseth seniors and caregivers each year.
Under the strong experience and knowledge of more than 550 volunteers, a Board of Directors, and 200 staff, CHATS embraces professional best practices in home care and our other services with caring, compassionate dedication. This unique combination ultimately benefits our clients, our community partners, and the community overall. Our quality achievements and service delivery model have been commended by Accreditation Canada.
Support CHATS senior services
As a not-for-profit charitable organization, CHATS depends on the generosity of our donors. Although CHATS is partially funded by the Central Local Health Integration Network, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and the United Way of York Region, the demand for increased services and programs necessitates the need for additional funding. Please, give generously.
