I think our strategy has to begin by recognizing the difficulties of doing that work. We have a current project that is looking at the move into long-term care. We have interviewed so many women who have reached a breaking point in terms of trying to provide care for someone at home. Certainly we need more care. Certainly we need to have better physical environments. We need to have what many people are talking about in terms of the “15-minute neighbourhood”. We have to think big, I think, in terms of the notion of home care.
We have to understand that staying at home is good for many people, but many people don't have a home. Many people, especially women, have a home that is abusive—physically, mentally, socially. While we need to support care at home, we also need to understand the intensive labour that goes into it. We have to provide alternatives for that as well as supports for that, which I think is the case in terms of long-term care. Certainly we need home care, but we also have to think of what that requires in terms of the extensive labour done by women.
