I'm the main one on the committee who has research experience that I've been using to feed into the department. Of course, for many years the department has been providing services to veterans all over the country. So they have the on-the-ground experience. I think the main thing we've learned from the work we've done is that these communities are diverse, and you've identified that well. Even in rural Canada there isn't one solution for how best to serve people.
We do know that generally in rural Canada, frail older adults end up in nursing homes sooner than those in urban Canada do, because there aren't the other services available to support them at home.
