Home and Community Care Support Services were begun as Community Care Access Centres (CCAC), with transfer of services taking place to first, Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) in June 2017, then Home and Community Care Support Services in 2021. Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) were established across Ontario in January 1998. During their tenure, CCACs answered to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and were governed by independent, incorporated, non-profit boards of directors. The name change came under Government of Ontario’s Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care.
