Paov,

Want to show your support for funding reform of BC’s contracted long-term care sector?

Health Minister Adrian Dix has said his ministry is developing a new funding model that ensures greater accountability in the contracted long-term care sector. We’ve launched a postcard action to send a strong message that the public supports these plans for funding reform.

If you are a family member, worker, senior or a concerned individual, go to BetterCareForSeniors.ca to request a free postcard to mail in to Minister Dix.

Sign up for a postcard today!

Once you sign up, you will receive a free specially designed postcard. Write your personal story or your concerns about seniors care on the postcard. No postage is required, you can just drop it in the mailbox.

At our Campaign Call last week, the Seniors Advocate spoke on the need for improved accuracy and transparency in the monitoring and... reporting of revenues and expenditures of long-term care homes. Funding reform ensures that we have a healthy and well-functioning long-term care system for seniors, their families, and workers. The postcards will advance four recommendations for funding reform in the contracted long-term care sector:

• Require that funding for care be spent on care;
• Improve accuracy and transparency of reporting to keep operators accountable for publicly funded care hours;
• Ensure common employment conditions across the sector by standardizing wages, benefits and working conditions; and,
• Be co-developed with key stakeholders in the long-term care sector including workers and their unions, resident and family councils, and seniors organizations.

We need to ensure that public money is spent on a consistent and high level of care in long-term care homes across BC. Sign up today to get a postcard.

In Solidarity,
