'Elders Take Action' Publicly Funded Home Support Program Meeting Today

This afternoon at the Florence Filberg Centre, there is a presentation on the importance of an effective and caring publicly funded home support program.

‘’Elders Take Action’’ is a local seniors’ group, organizing and leading discussions on issues of importance to seniors.

The group says most older adults wish to remain as independent as possible in their homes, but question whether the government is making the right plans to build upon and improve the
current system of home care.

BC Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie will lead a discussion on why it is vital that government provides a high standard of care to elders at home wherever possible.

Things take place from 2pm to 4pm - at the Florence Filberg Centre.
