BC Health Coalition Home Care Report: Living up to the Promise
Please find below a link to Living up to the Promise, The BC Health Coalition’s report which finds that the home support system is near breaking point in BC. It is now harder than ever for BC seniors to access the basic home support services they need to remain at home, despite the BC Ministry of Health’s goal to support seniors to stay independent at home for as long as possible.
The report finds that the lack of support at home leaves seniors unsupported, family caregivers overburdened, and costly hospital services overcrowded and makes recommendations to address the problem so that seniors get the support they need to age well at home.
I encourage you to share this information with your members and networks.
