The Companion Care Association (CCA) is a tax-exempt, non-profit public charity founded in 2003 in response to systemic problems encountered by caregiving families. CCA strives to help the frail elderly, people with chronic illnesses/disabilities and their caregivers lead more healthful and productive lives, while assisting care recipients of all ages to remain in their communities. Inappropriate stays in long-term care facilities would be eliminated or postponed. Our programs cut-across disease categories to empower the people they are helping, with the potential to save society much more than they cost while improving the quality of life for millions of Americans.
The Companion Care Association exists to assist caregiving families enrich their quality of life by improving the caregiving process for people of all ages, including those with disabilities, the chronically ill and the frail elderly.
CCA programs are designed to assist caregiving families to:
- Experience a higher quality of home and community-based care
- Feel less isolated with fewer instances of burnout and depression
- Maintain the health and productivity of employed family caregivers
- Enjoy increased amounts of respite care
- Receive more volunteer assistance in carrying out caregiver activities and in managing their households, and
- Use fewer days of hospital and nursing home care
The Association operates with a small Board of Directors (BOD) and Advisory
Committee (AC) whose members have experience in family caregiving, the
health delivery system and the management of non-profit organizations.
We plan to expand our board and committees in terms of expertise and
diversity to meet our growing needs.
