Seniors Advocacy Group Offers 10-Points List To Politicians

The Coalition for Seniors and Nursing Home Residents Rights has a list of 10 points it wants front and centre during the coming election.
Executive Director Cecile Cassista tells CHSJ News they include 3.5 hours of hands-on care for nursing home residents and home support provided by well trained workers.

Cassista says they need an independent body investigating complaints in nursing homes because it's not good for the government to be investigating themselves.
Cassista says she has upcoming meetings planned with some politicians to explain directly what they want for provincial seniors.
