New Report: The Place of Assisted Living in BC’s Seniors Care System

We released a new report The Place of Assisted Living in BC’s Seniors Care System: Assessing the Promise, Reality and Challenges with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

”Working as an LPN in assisted living can be heartbreaking. We routinely encounter situations where residents are clearly suffering because they aren’t getting the level of care they need, but we are told not to interfere because they have the right to live at risk. This violates our Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice to provide safe and compassionate ethical care,” says Anita Dickson, President of the Licensed Practical Nurses Association of BC.

[Sjsall] July 9th Join the Raging Grannies in Support of Senior's Care

Details: Published on Saturday, 04 July 2020 12:39; Written by editor

Dear Friends of SJS

GRANNIES SAY NO MORE PUBLIC FUNDING OF FOR-PROFIT SENIOR CARE HOMES

On July 9th, 2020, the Victoria Raging Grannies will sing and comment on the sad state of extended care in BC and in Canada. This will take place in front of the Ministry of Health Offices at 1515 Blanshard Street at 11 am.

During the current Covid 19 pandemic, it has become very apparent that institutional safety, comfort and care for seniors is in crisis in Canada. As of June 1 st , deaths from Covid-19 at long-term care facilities totalled 6,007, or 82% of all

deaths in Canada.

Although there are many excellent residences, we have all read stories of care homes where overworked and underpaid workers simply did not show up, residents were left to fend for themselves, and people who had died were left in

their beds, while families were unaware of the situations and could not visit theirloved ones due to quarantine regulations.

As Senior citizens, the Victoria Raging Grannies are extremely concerned andwant to make sure that this issue remains in the public eye until all Seniors are comfortable, healthy and safe in their care homes.

New Report: The Place of Assisted Living in BCs

Details: Published on Friday, 19 June 2020 09:30; Written by editor

NationBuilder r1

Dear Paov --

On Wednesday, we released The Place of Assisted Living in BC’s Seniors Care System: Assessing the Promise, Reality and Challenges report with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Assisted living was introduced in 2002 as a less institutional environment for seniors with less complex needs than long-term care. It offered the promise of greater independence and being able to live in a more home-like environment—which are important and highly valued by seniors. Drawing on interviews in different parts of the province with 28 care aides, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), front-line managers, residents and family members, the study offers a preliminary assessment of the quality and appropriateness of assisted living services, the conditions for both residents and workers, and the legislative and regulatory frameworks that govern assisted living.

[Sjsall] upcoming opportunities and causes

Details: Published on Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:15; Written by editor

Dear Friends of SJS,

Today, June 17th, at 8 PM EST (5 PM PST) AAPF will host a special episode of Under The Blacklight titled “#SayHerName: Telling Stories of State Violence Public Silence.” Host Kimberlé Crenshaw will speak with family members of Tanisha Anderson, Sandra Bland, Michelle Cusseaux, Shelly Frey, Korryn Gaines, India Kager, and Kayla Moore.

Supporting the families of women whose lives were taken by police is a core tenet of AAPF’s #SayHerName campaign. Part of that support is uplifting the stories that have been silenced. Tomorrow night, the leaders of #SayHerName will not only tell their stories, they will speak to what could be different in this country; they’ll dig into the changes that could be made that would’ve prevented the killing of their daughters and sisters. We look forward to holding this space, and building out from it.
