Description of Services:

Assess and support clients with diabetes who have complex needs, such as co-morbid health conditions that require intensive case management. The CCDC offers a single point of access to a specialized inter-professional team. It is a care delivery model for people with diabetes who need more contact, more resources and more follow-up across health care and social services systems. Care is provided over a shorter term, patient-centred, goal specific and allows for frequent follow-up.

The team consists of nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered dietitians, social workers and pharmacists.

In the Central East region, Ontario Health atHome completes the referral and assessment of clients for the CCDC and there are three care delivery sites located at Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Lakeridge Health Whitby, and The Scarborough Hospital – General Campus.
