About the Life Long Care Programme:
The Life Long Care Programme (LLCP) provides a wholistic approach to Long-Term Care (LTC) community support services that incorporates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life. Through this approach the LLCP works toward enhancing and improving the quality of life and living conditions for urban Aboriginal people requiring LTC community support services.

Goal
The goal of the Life Long Care Programme is to provide community support services to urban Aboriginal people who are physically disabled, chronically ill, and/or who are frail elderly. In addition, the Life Long Care Programme strives to ensure quality of care and appropriate support systems for their caregivers.
