An Illusion of Care

Vulnerability due to the increasing care needs of people who are ageing and/or who experience disabilities often triggers a search for ways and means of ensuring that those care needs can be provided for. That search often brings people to a startling reality in Ontario. There is a precious little support available other than placement in a long-term care facility. Ageing at home with support to do so is woefully unavailable for most people, despite this being a clear preference of many.
