Numbers on a Page: The seniors care crisis in Alberta (2014) weaves together the voices of several people affected by a wave of closures of long-term care facilities, which began in 2012. The film shows the human face behind the declining number of long-term care beds in Alberta, a trend that has left seniors with complex care needs and their families in a difficult position. It also fills in the context for this crisis, including the government and Alberta Health Services’ increasingly arms length approach to seniors care that is diverting more and more public funding to private facilities.
