Celebrating Our #chatsseniors Champions During Community Support Month 2025 

October is Community Support Month, and at CHATS-Community & Home Assistance to Seniors, we are proud to shine a spotlight on the many programs, staff, volunteers, and clients who make it possible for older adults to live well at home. 

This year’s theme, Everyone Needs Community Support Services, could not be truer. Whether it is a hot meal delivered through Meals on Wheels, a safe ride to an appointment through our Transportation program, or a day of connection and care at one of our Adult Day Programs, CHATS services touch thousands of lives across York Region and South Simcoe. 

Throughout October, we will be celebrating service-specific days that align with our programs. Each week, we will highlight one of our #chatsseniors champions the volunteers, staff, caregivers, and clients who embody the spirit of community support. From Caregiver Support and Friendly Visiting to the exciting progress on CIBPA Place, York Region’s first not-for-profit Residential Respite Dementia Care Centre now under construction and scheduled to open in January 2026, we will be sharing the many ways CHATS is here to support seniors and their families. 

We invite you to follow along, share your own stories, and help us celebrate the people and programs that make community support services so essential. Together, we can show that when seniors thrive, communities thrive.
