The strain on nursing homes will only get worse as a growing number of people in the province age. That word from the C-E-O at Loch Lomand Villa, Cindy Donovan. She told the Horizon Health Network nursing home residents are older and sicker than they were years ago.
She says it's definitely evident that the demographics are moving with a bigger elderly population and things are going to get worse.
She adds there are 203 people on the waiting list between Sussex and St. Stephen.
Donovan says the provincial government is looking now at the level of care nursing homes require.
