They want to stay at home. If we can keep people out of long-term care for six months, for a year.... In fact, we have two long-term care homes, and there's another long-term care home we've compared ourselves to. Individuals in the other long-term care home go in older, a little sicker, with much less time left at end of life. You might say that's sad, but what's actually happening is that a bit of investment upstream for that population group can keep them out of long-term care longer. They're actually staying at home longer, maybe a year or 18 months that they're spending in their community with their families, and then only going into long-term care when it's absolutely needed.
Part of that is because of technology. By developing technologies that we can use—a little like what Dr. Krahn said—we can keep people with cardiac disease at home, support them in the community and keep them out of long-term care. It doesn't mean we're not going to need more long-term care, but we can try to do some work up front.
The other thing is that we have to look at our long-term care homes. The builds that we're going to make in the future have to be completely different, net-zero, spaces that we'd want to live in, not spaces that we visit now and don't enjoy visiting. I think we have to have a thought around not only the construction of our long-term care, but also what we can do up front to keep people living where they want to live.
