Groups merge, form community care group

The Canadian Long Term Care Association and HomeSupport Canada are merging to form the Canadian Association for Community Care; the agreement will take effect by July 1. The groups say the merger is needed to provide a stronger voice for home-based care, facility-based long-term care and community-support programs such as Meals on Wheels, said the association's National Bulletin. The new group will reflect a strong consumer focus.
