Small Care Homes: Reimagining Long-Term Care
A different model of long-term care for a more personalized experience.
Long-term care in Canada is mostly made up of large, institutional facilities. They aren’t known as warm and inviting places to call home. But there is a growing movement for a culture change pushing for alternatives. In this episode of The Future Age podcast, host Zannat Reza explores a different model of long-term care, based on smaller homes with a more personalized experience.
