@ltamblynwatts @geezerlaw Do you know of anything legally being done to stop the illegal detention of residents in LTCHs in Ontario? I have families asking... https://t.co/G3NA49GIMo

@kwadwo777 Not only have we not had a plan, but there seems to be very little public health ethical analysis applied to the decisions that were and continue to be made.

Breaking: Ontario locks up #longtermcare and #retirementhome residents again. I wish *someone would remind @RodPhillips01, @fordnation & gang that Directives don’t outweigh Charter rights. H/T @geezerlaw. @picardonhealth @MoiraWelsh @NathanStall @NaheedD @AmitAryaMD @SharkawyMD

New episode has a great conversation with Ajantha Jayabarathan, family doc in Halifax NS about her approach to supporting people and families affected by dementia, grounded in shared care mental health practice model. @DrAJHalifax @GHS_UW #makedementiamatter

Thank you @ReThinkDementia for this important message.

[Dementia Dialogue @dementiadialog]

Great evidence for Planning for long term care needs that includes home care as an integral part. Dementia needs to be acknowledged as the critical driver in care needs and associated provider training. Check out our series The System Journey https://t.co/txDdXyiZWy
