DescriptionCommunity Care Access Centres (CCACs) are the local point of access to community-based health care services * CCACs provide access to government-funded in-home health care (nursing, personal support, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and nutrition) and community services, and long-term care homes * The centres provide information about local community support service agencies, and can link people to these agencies * Anyone can make a referral to a CCAC - a person requiring service, a family member, caregiver, friend, physician, or other health care professional * The centres work in partnership with clients, families, care providers, hospitals, long-term care homes and others to ensure that the right care is available at the right time and place 
 
The Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) CCAC Branch offices are located in Hamilton, St. Catharines, Simcoe, Brantford (Head Office) and Burlington.  
 
For additional information regarding these services, please contact the branch office nearest you. 
 
Support of Abused Older Person: 
The Case Manager would telephone the client and set a mutually agreeable time for an in-home comprehensive assessment. Once assessed, the client will be asked for consent to support by Community Care Access centre/other community services. If the senior is not competent, information about power of attorney for finances and personal care, as well as prior stated wishes of the client would be ascertained. Family doctor, service providers, the client and family members (if not the abusers) would develop a plan of care. 
 
Intervention with Alleged Abuser: 
If criminal issues were a concern, the police or a Seniors' Support Officer would be notified. Serious medical conditions that cause or exacerbate the abusive behaviour may require hospitalization of the abuser or intervention by the family doctor.
