Canadian Association for Community Care
The Canadian Association for Community Care (CACC) is a national, non-profit, bilingual association, formed in 1995. CACC's guiding principle is our commitment to a strong national voice for the community care sector. In our view, community care includes home-based care, facility-based long term care and community support programs, such as meal services. CACC's mission is to promote the development of a range of high-quality, flexible, responsive and accessible community care services within a seamless continuum of care.

Employment Insurance (E.I.)
Employment Insurance (EI) provides temporary financial assistance for Canadians who are unemployed, through no fault of their own, while they look for work or upgrade their skills. Canadians who are sick, pregnant or caring for a newborn or adopted child, as well as those who must care for a family member who is seriously ill with a significant risk of death, may also be assisted by Employment Insurance. There are no age restrictions on benefits. Seniors who become unemployed, but wish to continue working, are eligible for employment insurance benefits.
