Webinar: Humanizing dementia care in long-term care
On January 11th, 2023, Family Councils Ontario and CARP Ottawa featured a webinar on the Hogeweyk Model. And so, for our August webinar, we invite you to watch the following “recorded’ presentation. The insights which Aimee Foreman shared in 2023 remain equally relevant today in changing long-term care homes from ‘institutions to homes’.
Speaker: Aimee Foreman: As the founder and former CEO of Silvermark Company, she developed a team that shares a commitment to championing the needs and preferences of older adults. Together, they guided aging care leaders to impact-driven decisions that improve quality of life. She has visited homes, and examined care models, around the world to understand challenges and opportunities from all perspectives – policymakers, providers, caregivers, families, and older adults themselves.

In January 2025, the National Institute on Aging, distributed a Report entitled: “There’s No Place Like Home. Why Canada Must Prioritize Small Care Home Models in its Provision of Long-Term Care.”
In this Report it stated that “the Green House model has emerged as the most holistic manifestation of the culture change movement in the provision of LTC services, which best attempts to create smaller and more home-like living environments, along with improvements to staffing levels, training, support, and retention, in order to better enable the provision of resident-centred care.”
The CARP Advocacy Group on Long-Term Care calls on the Ontario government to transform existing 32-bed units in LTC homes into 16 bed units and when building new LTC homes, do so with 12-16 bed units. Those who live and work in LTC homes deserve to live in homes which look, feel, and are homes!
Webinar: What does emotion based care look like in practice?
In 2025, MOLTC launched a 3- year funding project focusing on emotion-based care. In the first year, 17 LTC Homes received funding. For our June webinar, we invite you to watch the following webinar:
Presenter: Sally Knocker, Meaningful Care Matters
