Truth about Senior Care

Almost half of your provincial taxes go to healthcare, and the government is still not getting it right!

Hospitals are dangerously overcrowded. Long term care is dangerously underfunded, and there is an acute staffing crisis developing. Over-documentation burdens staff and takes away from personal hands-on care.

Many politicians still don’t understand this.

In advance of the provincial election in June, CLAC Local 305 met with each of the political candidates in the Brant riding to educate them on the truth about senior care. Local 305 wanted to make sure that the three major candidates in the Brant riding understood the crisis facing our healthcare members on a daily basis.
