CARP OTTAWA:
CARP Ottawa is a local chapter of CARP (Canadian Association for Retired Persons), one of Canada’s largest advocacy organizations with approximately 300,000 members.
In 2018, CARP Ottawa’s Board made improving the delivery of care in Ontario’s long-term care homes a top priority. This led to collaboration with CARP Ottawa’s Advocacy Working Group on Long-term Care, a small group dedicated to meeting twice a month, hosting monthly webinars, and promoting public action to persuade the Ontario Government to change long-term care homes from institutions to homes.
Change LTC Now is driven by a dedicated team of volunteers with decades of experience in dementia care, education, and advocacy. Our mission is to transform long-term care homes from institutions to homes, enriching the lives of residents, families, and staff.
