Long-Term Care facilities have been the sites of deadly COVID-19 outbreaks, in Alberta and across the country. But what is long-term care? How is it funded, and who operates it? What are conditions like for persons in care, as well as for workers? Lastly, as our aging population requires increasing care, how might we build a system that treats our elders and those who cannot work with dignity and respect— while providing low-carbon, green care-work jobs?
Further Reading: Re-imagining Long-term Residential Care in the COVID-19 Crisis (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, April 2020) Losing Ground: Alberta's Residential Elder Care Crisis (Parkland Institute, 2016) Deaths in Residential Care in Canada by facility (tracker updated daily by Nora Loreto) Sizing Up the Challenge: Meeting the Demand for Long-Term Care in Canada (Conference Board of Canada, 2017) Before It's Too Late: A National Plan for Safe Seniors' Care (Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, 2015)
