Thank you to RTOERO District 16 Toronto for promoting the need to change long term care homes in Ontario from ‘institutions to homes’. In the RTOERO District 16 Spring 2025 Newsletter, Carol Dueck’s insightful article points out that – “Retired Teachers of Ontario: Your voice can make a difference to wellness in Long Term Care”. Carol is a member of CARP’s Advocacy Working Group on Long-term Care, and Chair of Advocacy Family Council Network Four.
The article captures the challenges that the long-term care system in Ontario faces, and brings encouragement as there has been very positive results in the few homes where the implementation of an innovative approach to care has happened. Retired teachers can play an instrumental role in influencing changes in social policy by adding their collective and vibrant voice to ‘get the job done’.
