VOICES of Canada’s Seniors: A Roadmap to an Age-Inclusive Canada: Compass Point:
"C" - Care Giving, Long-term Care, Home Care and Housing Resources

VOICES of Canada’s Seniors: A Roadmap to an Age-Inclusive Canada. The Roadmap provides 6 compass points (V.O.I.C.E.S.) for areas of attention. Under each compass point, we map critical issues that affect older Canadians. We provide recommendations and practical steps with the aim of improving the lives of Canadians now and in the future.

This webinar recording will focus on the compass point “C” - Care Giving, Long-term Care, Home Care and Housing Resources.

Canada has no National Quality Standards or national licensing for LTC, which has led to substandard, even fatal conditions. Many seniors do not have adequate, publicly funded home care to allow them to age in place. Our expert panel discussed the current state of the LTC and home care landscape in Canada along with recommendations for improvement.

Host: Laura Tamblyn Watts, CEO CanAge

Expert Panel:
(1) Rachel Blaney, Member of Parliament North Island - Powell River, BC
(2) Amy Coupal, CEO, ON Caregiver Organization
(3) Donna Duncan, CEO, ON Long-Term Care Association

(5) Jennifer Wakegijig, Northern ON School of Medicine, Principal Consultant at Unity, Perspective & Innovation
