Let me say this, if I may: As the experience from COVID and the tragic situation that affected so many frail elderly in long-term care homes has really highlighted, certainly for our organization, the time has come for us to stop questioning why people need to go into long-term care and instead focus on how we can help them to stay at home, in their own homes where they want to be.
Without doubt, there is a need for long-term care for very complex needs and conditions, but we also believe with better investment in home and community supports it is quite possible, quite feasible and better for people to be able to age in place and to have the choice to do so. Instead of solely investing in the creation of more institutionalized care, we need to start talking about how we enable people to exercise their choice to stay at home as long as possible.
