About
Community Care Durham
We assist our clients with services that support their independence, health and quality of life. In doing so, we help them remain in their own homes – where they want to be.
The Government of Ontario’s new COVID-19 restrictions have required CCD to adjust some of its programs. We care about our community and are committed to providing support for the most vulnerable. CCD will continue working with Public Health and other partners to protect the ongoing safety of our staff, volunteers, and clients. Click the button below for an update of our programs statuses.
