A new vision for how seniors are cared for in B.C. is needed, says the chief executive officer of the B.C. Care Providers Association.
Daniel Fontaine says his association is advocating for establishment of what he calls ‘care hubs’ across the province.
The idea is being discussed Friday at a public forum in Kelowna titled Creating Communities of Care.
The forum brings together leaders from the seniors’ care sector, public transportation, non-profit housing, health authorities, First Nations and municipal governments, planners and the B.C.
