Data-driven change needed in long-term care By: Carole Estabrooks
More than 22,000 people in Canada have died from COVID-19 – the vast majority of them aged over 60 years. Most of those deaths occurred in long-term care homes. This crisis continues now, even after governments and operators have put in place emergency strategies and, in some jurisdictions, creative solutions to address staff shortages.
For example, offering to pay relatives to provide care, creating new support roles with free training and providing salary top-ups. This response, however, is years late, and piecemeal in its approach.

More than 19,000 people in Canada have died from COVID-19 – more than 17,000 of them aged over 60 years. The majority of those deaths occurred in long-term care homes. This crisis continues now, even after governments and operators have put in place emergency strategies and, in some jurisdictions, creative solutions to address staff shortages. For example, offering to pay relatives to provide care, creating new support roles with free training and providing salary top-ups.

Growing old, becoming infirm, developing dementia – these things must not mean that any of us is less Canadian, less human, less deserving of a good end of life, lived with dignity, free from fear. Prime Minister Trudeau, this would be an enduring legacy.
