Refer Patients Directly to Community Support Services Through OCEAN

Community Support Connections (CSC) is a non-profit organization offering non-medical services to help older adults and persons with different abilities live an independent, healthy life in the comfort of their homes. We offer assistance to residents of Cambridge, North Dumfries, City of Waterloo and City of Kitchener, partnering with other organizations for some services. Our services include: Meals on Wheels ($), transportation to medical appointments and shopping ($), housekeeping ($), yard and home maintenance ($), friendly visiting and social connections, system navigation and community support services planning, gentle exercise classes (group in-person and virtual and 1:1 at home), falls prevention classes (group in-person and virtual) and reassurance/check-in calls. Many of our services have no charge, however for services with a fee ($), we offer a sliding scale of payments based on income-level. Primary Care Providers can e-refer clients directly to our services through OCEAN (enter “Community Support Connections” into the OCEAN Healthmap search bar), CareDove, or through our CSC website (go to the applicable service page and click the “register now” button).

New clients and their family members do not need a referral to our services, but guided-support from primary care providers is often the prompt required to start clients on their community support services journey. Community Support Connections understands the importance of your patients maintaining their autonomy while receiving the necessary support to thrive in familiar surroundings and we have made it our mission. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions (519)-772-8787 or info@cscmow.org.
