Alberta urged to move ahead with publicly funded small care homes
A new report from the National Institute on Ageing recommends provinces urgently prioritize the small care home model, which provides housing for 10 to 12 residents and represents a shift away from large, hospital-like institutions.
“What we’re really calling for is governments like Alberta — that have actually taken an interest in small care homes — to actually get on with it,” said Dr. Samir Sinha, a geriatrician and director of health policy research at the National Institute on Ageing.
