Sharing a favourite memory overlooking the Alberta badlands, as we remember our sweet Grandma Vi who recently passed away. To know her was to love her. Mom. GG. Gardener. Hugger. Cook. Baker… we could go on. Hug your loved ones ♥️ #grandma #love #family

Enjoyed some sunshine and a tasty lunch with some wonderful company! Thank you @rb33canada for always connecting the dots - being an amazing mentor and friend. Always picking up where we have left off… which reminds me, I better fetch those plants from the back of my car 🙈😂

"It's not just about aging in place - it's about living in place. Consider the return on investment of assistive technology for increased time and quality of life." - Ron Belano @rb33canada #OT365 #aginginplace

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

89% of Ontario seniors want to live at home for as long as possible.

State of home care:
-staffing shortages
-low wages (worse than LTC)
-for-profits provide most of care

As home care & LTC are part of a continuum, why are we only speaking about fixing LTC…but not home care?

Caregivers have shared with @CaregiverON that a simple gesture, such as a phone call asking them how they’re doing, can make a big difference in their day. On Nov 13th, for Kindness Day, call someone you know who is taking care of a neighbour, family member, or friend.
