Today at the Home Care Ontario Symposium, critical conversations about the future of home care are taking center stage. We are excited to share that Sandra Ketchen, CEO of Spectrum Health Care and Board Chair of Home Care Ontario, is playing a key role in leading these discussions today about the growing need for a strong and sustainable home care system to support Ontarians at home. With Ontario’s senior population projected to grow by 15% in the next five years, today’s symposium will be focusing on learning and discussing the challenges and opportunities that face the future of the Ontario health system and ensuring quality care can be delivered where it’s needed most - at home. #MoreHomeCare2024

Today, we had the honour of welcoming Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, MPP, Minister of Long-Term Care, to our newly expanded Mississauga Peel Ambulatory Clinic.

Through the integration of expert care teams, advanced treatments, and collaborative partnerships with local hospitals and physicians, we’re committed to a seamless experience for each patient.

By 2043, nearly 1 in 4 Canadians will be 65 or older! On International Day of Older Persons and beyond, it’s important to recognize that aging with dignity is a collective responsibility. Let’s continue advocating for person-centred care that addresses care worker shortages and respects the dignity, needs, and privacy of older adults while upholding their right to make decisions about their own care and quality of life.
