April 16 is #AdvanceCarePlanningDay

Today is a good reminder to think about your health care wishes and make them known.

Whether it's talking with family or filling out advance directives, it’s important to help everyone make informed decisions about your health care.

This #NationalVolunteerWeek , we're sending a heartfelt thank you to all the incredible volunteers who make a difference in long-term care homes across Canada!

Your dedication and kindness brighten the lives of residents and staff every single day. Thank you for the work you do.

April is #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth !

Parkinson's affects not only movement but also cognitive function and overall quality of life.

In LTC homes, specialized support is crucial to ensure individuals receive the attention and care they need.

On #WorldHealthDay , we are highlighting the importance of access to quality care for all, including those in LTC.

LTC integrates home, care & healthy living by aiming to provide individuals with the support they need to maintain their quality of life that is familiar to them.

This week, we recognize #NationalCaregiverDay ! We’re proud to acknowledge the caregivers who go above and beyond to support residents in long-term care homes across the country. Essential caregivers are a pillar of support to our LTC communities. Thank you! #EssentialCaregivers
