The Canadian Association for Long Term Care (CALTC) is a national organization founded in 2002, dedicated to advocating for quality long-term care in Canada. It represents provincial and territorial long-term care associations and corporate providers that deliver publicly funded health care services. CALTC aims to create a health system where quality, safe, and comfortable long-term care is accessible to all Canadians.

CALTC serves as a trusted advisor on long-term care issues, working with stakeholders such as caregivers, residents, and policymakers to address common challenges and promote sector-wide improvements. The organization engages in federal advocacy to secure investments for long-term care infrastructure and workforce development. It leads the National Occupational Standard (NOS) for Personal Care Providers, which standardizes training and career pathways for caregivers. Additionally, CALTC facilitates knowledge sharing among its members to enhance care quality through research and best practices.
