A new study says Canadian governments must develop a comprehensive long-term, home-care system to fit within the federal-provincial health accord, which is due for renewal in 2014… in the coming years, more seniors will struggle to find the care they need. Lower fertility rates, increasing rates of divorce, remarriage and blended families may also affect the availability of informal care.” … the envisioned long-term, home-care system must be integrated with other services, including health and social support, residential care and community services.
