Community Care Peterborough is Always Striving to Build Abundance For Our Clients
We provide programs and services to support residents throughout the City and County of Peterborough. Our services are individualized to meet your needs and you don’t need a referral to access most of our services. All calls are confidential and our staff is happy to answer questions about our programs without any obligation.
Despite all the changes that COVID has brought, our mission remains the same, to empower our clients to live safely and independently at home and out of hospitals and long-term care.
Can You Lend A Helping Hand?
Community Care has been there to lend a helping hand, never missing a day of service to our clients. Although we continue to lead forward from the COVID crisis to recovery, we are also mindful of what the future will bring. We have seen a surge in the need for our programs and our local communities are also growing. Community Care is striving to build abundance so that we can meet these growing needs now and in the future too.
