The Chief Executive Officer of Home Care Ontario believes home care services need to be a larger solution for our health care system.
Sue VanderBent stresses our system is already under strain from an aging population, overcrowded emergency rooms, and a shortage of personal support workers.
VanderBent believes home care services is a solution as they provide nursing, personal support and therapy.
She says this helps people age in their own home, where people want to be, keeping the healthier and giving them more freedom.
VenderBent adds that including more health care options means more thoughtful care for patients, more support for our loved ones, and a better health care system for everyone.
A new report indicates that in only 25-years, Ontario’s senior population will double to 4.6-million.
