The CAA was founded in 2010 by a group of local care associations - including WMCA - as a vehicle for them to share best practice and establish common positions on national issues.
Since then the CAA has grown to include over 50 local care associations, each supporting care providers within specific local authority areas. Like WMCA, these associations represent a diverse range of services, including:
- Residential and nursing homes
- Domiciliary care
- Supported living
- Learning disability services
By uniting these associations, the CAA ensures that the perspectives and needs of local providers are effectively communicated to national decision-makers.
The CAA has no paid officers, all its functions and activities are carried out by it’s member care associations.
