"What Will it Take To Make Long Term Care a Resource We Are Grateful To Have?"
Being a health care consumer and advocate requires us to be informed of the issues and challenges presented by an aging demographic. This presentation will provide an opportunity to interact with two "leading edge" professionals who care about excellence in aging.
Pat Morden has provided leadership to the development of Shalom Village, a long term care organization in Hamilton, Ontario that puts residents first in every aspect of its operation. She will discuss how to make long term care a health care system resource that we are grateful to have.
Dr. Jack Diamond, Scientific Director of the Alzheimer Society of Canada, has provided leadership to the study and understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and the impact of an increasing incidence of this condition on long term care. He will highlight the content of "Rising Tide" a landmark report of the Alzheimer Society of Canada and why it should serve as a "wake-up-call" for all of us.
