Dennis is not a senior.
He is a younger adult living with health challenges that make it difficult to work and safely live alone.
It all started with hospitalization.
When he was ready to leave hospital, everyone agreed he still needed support at home.
But there was a problem.
Affordable home support wasn't available.
The co-payments were more than he could manage.
Without the support he needed to return home safely, Dennis was placed in long-term care.
Long-term care was never designed for people like Dennis.
It wasn't the right fit for him.
And it added unnecessary pressure to an already stretched care system.
When home support fails, people are forced into settings that don't meet their needs.
Home support isn't just a seniors' issue.
It's essential healthcare that helps people of all ages live safely and independently in their communities.
Let's build a system that supports people where they belong.
