The National Institute on Aging released its recent report, “There’s No Place Like Home: Why Canada Must Prioritize Small Care Home Models in its Provision of Long-Term Care”.
“This report, There’s No Place Like Home, emphasizes the need for a transformative shift away from delivering care in large institutional care settings to smaller, more personalized, home-like environments that align with public preferences and improve care outcomes for residents and working conditions for staff. ”
Please join us in our advocacy efforts to transform Ontario’s long-term care homes from ‘institutions to homes’ by contacting your MPP and/or city councillor, writing a letter to the editor, etc to make this transformation happen.
I am Chair of the CARP Windsor-Essex Chapter’s Long-Term Care Transformation Committee. I support your goals, have contacted my MPP & will do so again, & will write a Letter to the Editor of The Windsor Star. I’ll also prepare a post for our Chapter’s next newsletter.
That’s wonderful. Thanks so much for your encouragement and also for the actions you are undertaking. Greatly appreciated.
