You have to ask yourself whether it is just beds you need. Your question is quite appropriate. We not only need beds, but we also need resources for seniors.
Some seniors will need a bed in a long-term care facility, because they may have major cognitive problems and difficulties with mobility that are so great that they cannot move around. However, all the others should have access to well thought-out and adapted home care. With that only, we can go quite a long way, and with satisfied patients.
We can also get family caregivers involved. Currently, family caregivers are the victims of a poorly organized system. They lose their jobs and they lose their financial resources. They put their mental health and their physical health at risk as they take care of the elderly. They need a little support. This is an important lever in the area of care for the elderly.
