Revolution needed for elderly care

Moira Welsh has spent almost two decades writing about seniors living in long-term care and has recently released a book, Happily Ever Older, which details new approaches to how we as a society should look after the elderly.
The genesis for the book began in 2003 when Welsh, an investigative reporter with The Toronto Star, began talking to people about long-term care.
“There were a lot of stories about the aging demographic and the first wave of the boomers turning 65,” she explains. So, she took a deep dive and began an investigation into the world of seniors living in long-term care.
