Health Care System Failing Some Seniors

If we keep going the way we're going, hospitals will be filled with seniors who have no where else to go: that's the dire warning from NB Nursing Home Association Director Micheal Keating.

Keating tells CHSJ News hospitals, nursing homes, and home support workers rarely work as a unified whole, despite serving the same population. He says that results in duplication and redundancies that damage the quality of care for everyone.

Over 300 seniors, caregivers, health professionals and others are meeting today and tomorrow at the Summit for Healthy Aging and Care in Fredericton, hoping to create a policy document on the changes that are necessary.
