For nearly 45 years, CAH has been the only organization dedicated entirely to the well-being of Francophone seniors in Toronto. Throughout this time, CAH has worked with community care partners to provide support services for seniors. The programs and services that CAH offers will continue to evolve in the coming years to reflect the growing needs of our aging community.

The services CAH provides to seniors in the community
Case Management (CM)
The role of CAH’s case managers is to help clients navigate effectively through the health system and community support services and guide them towards the appropriate services, whether these are CAH services or other services in the community that can meet their needs. All CAH clients benefit from Case Management services. Following a formal, standardized client assessment, case managers develop an individualized care plan together with the clients themselves and their caregivers.
Homemaking (HMK)
The Homemaking program delivered entirely in French, is designed for seniors in Toronto who have difficulty performing certain tasks in their daily lives. Eligibility for this program is determined through a standardized assessment of the needs of people aged 55+ experiencing a decline in physical and/or cognitive autonomy. This assessment identifies the level of assistance required by clients in their home or apartment, in order to continue to live safely in their own environment.
Adult Day Program (ADP Toronto and ADP Oshawa)
CAH Adult Day Program offers physical and cognitive activation and socialization programming offered in French five days a week to seniors in Toronto. Professional recreationists ensure a welcoming and safe environment in which clients can enjoy their day. CAH Adult Day Program in Oshawa is offered three days a week to seniors in Durham Region.
Other CAH services for seniors
