Carefor Health & Community Services is a not-for-profit charity based in Ottawa, Ontario, operating in the hospitals and health care sector, delivering home health care and community support. Founded in 1897, it serves seniors and people with disabilities by helping them stay at home or in familiar community settings through in-home care, community programs, and housing options such as retirement homes in Richmond and Pembroke and a hospice in Cornwall. Its services span Ottawa and eastern Ontario, including Pembroke-Renfrew County and the Eastern Counties, with care provided in the home, in retirement facilities, or in community settings, and the organization is guided by a volunteer board supported by donors. A recent development includes a partnership with the County of Renfrew to establish bridge housing in the region, reinforcing its role in expanding community-based support. The organization relies on a sizable staff to deliver services and emphasizes client choice and dignity within a charitable framework.
