Presented in partnership with the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (C.A.R.P.) Nova Scotia Chapter.COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on Canadians over the age of 60, accounting for nearly 97% of all deaths in Canada. Though these effects have been more visible in long-term care (LTC) facilities, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an overwhelming strain on the entire continuing care sector, including home care.

The system continues to be under immense pressure as it grapples with neglect as well as an aging population.As such, there is an urgent need for significant investment and reform in continuing care. As part of a wider national advocacy campaign, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (C.A.R.P.) Nova Scotia Chapter has developed five priority actions to transform home care in the province and across the country.

We invite you to join us for a panel discussion on C.A.R.P. Nova Scotia’s Continuing Care Position Paper: Working Together to Bring Home Care Home.To register for this event, click here: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_z3f_qQtjS2ur0mW4NYc-gA
