This one elder is looking after his wife who is ill, and he said, “If I get sick, I'm not going to be able to look after her. We're going to be taken out.” What I would like to see is a long-term care facility in the community and for other elders to have the same view I'm watching right now, the lake and everything that they are familiar with.

Meegwetch.
