In this episode, we talk to the President of Concerned Friends Laurie Nicol. Concerned Friends is a volunteer-run organization whose mission is to advance the health and well-being and enrich the experiences of those living in long-term care homes across Ontario.
We discussed what the process of choosing a long-term care facility looks like; the differences between privately owned, publicly owned and non-profit/charity-owned long-term care facilities.
We talked about the structural issues that were unearthed by Covid-19 in long-term care facilities. Finally, we touched on what the solutions might look like such as implementing a minimum of 4-hours of hands-on care per day or investing in recruiting more staff.
This interview is part of our docuseries "SICK AND TIRED" on the Ontario 2022 election. "SICK AND TIRED" is out now on YouTube. Make sure to check it out!
