Delivering client-centred programs and services for older adults based on their unique wants and needs.

At CHATS, we’re more than just transportation, meals, and caregiver relief. We’re a one-stop-shop of programs and services designed to meet your needs or the needs of your loved one. We help to inspire older adults to discover the possibilities of aging at home longer and staying safe for better quality of independent living. We also work to empower caregivers to look after themselves, so they can better provide compassionate assistance to those they care for.

Client Story

On behalf of our father, we just wanted to thank you and all the support staff at CHATS. Over the last 10 years, your services and staff have allowed dad to live in his home and cope/live with day-to-day activities and for this, we are forever grateful.

Client Story

Thank you, CHATS, for the wonderful support you’ve given to me during the last four-and-a-half months. Ever since I fell and fractured the cap on my left arm, and afterward had surgery on my left hand, your concern and care were very much appreciated. The ladies who attended to me were always very cheerful and encouraging. Thank you for all that you do.

CHATS Homemaking Client

Client Story

Thank you to all of the Day Program staff and volunteers. Since my husband started coming there, he has really come out of his shell and is much happier at home as well. He speaks so highly of you all and is enjoying himself immensely. It also gives me some time to myself, and I always know he is in good hands!

Caregiver/wife of a CHATS Client

Client Story

For the past two weeks, I have had help from one of your Support Workers. She has assisted me since I came home from the hospital and was unable to care for myself. She is a credit to her profession. She is kind and caring and eager to be of service. I cannot thank her enough for her sunny disposition when I was feeling low, due to the pain of the surgery. Thank you, CHATS, for providing this much-needed service.

Client Story

I recently joined the program for South Asian seniors, and am enjoying (all the activities). This is the happiest time I have spent in Canada. It reminds me of my school days with my friends in Sri Lanka.
