THE CALL … the call for help, the call for change, the call for action (Caregiving Journey)
It’s time to rethink how we care for the elderly. We don’t need more long-term beds in institutions. We need money redirected into Home Care. Seniors want to stay in their own homes.

However, for seniors to safely remain in their homes, we need supports and services in place and easy access to those services. Change needs too begin today!
