The Ontario Caregiver Organization

Who are caregivers?

Ordinary people who provide physical and emotional support to a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour.

The OCO supports caregivers by being their one point of access to information, so they have what they need to be successful in their role.

Collaborating with caregivers

The OCO works collaboratively with caregivers, healthcare providers and other organizations to improve the caregiving experience. How?

• By finding ways to make existing services more broadly available
• By ensuring all caregivers, regardless of age, disease, diagnosis, or location within the province can access support
• By identifying gaps, and working with partners to find new ways to fill them
