More Ontario seniors prefer to live at home or their apartments as long as they can – studies back up this narrative as well. Covid has also created much fear in the senior population solidifying the ever growing need to want to remain where they feel safe. But is this possible? with the assistance of a home care giver it can be. In a recent letter to the premier a son writes that both his mother and father are determined to continue living at home and is appealing to have more support for home care giving. At Universal Health Hub #UNVHealthHub, we believe that the quality of this home care has to improve too; with empathy and culture competency being the core. Refer our blog Why Universal Health Hub values culture competency in caregiving. This is becoming the new norm for the younger generation where they are opting to arrange quality home care for their aging family member versus sending let them go to a long term care or retirement home. A push for a new outlook on senior care is upon us. Where there is an importance and focus on how to create a better version so that to allow seniors prefer to live at home with dignity and receive the proper support, assistance and care needed.
