Every year, as part of their annual budgeting process, the provincial government consults with the community on spending priorities. This year, like many others, Concerned Friends has used this opportunity to highlight the many challenges in long-term care and to advise the government on how to direct funds to achieve meaningful improvements.
In general, our submission focuses on the need for a major shift in long-term care from large, for-profit institutions to small not-for-profit home-like settings. We also talk about the need for increased investments in the workforce – everything from improved training and professional development to increased numbers of staff to meet the complex needs of residents.
