This question comes from Paul (80) in Ontario<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What must I do to have my MPP reply to my proposal that Home Care for needy seniors is being considered and acted upon? Is there a Plan? Proposal? Any promise of this and the savings to our health care system. Most hope to age in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our answer<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hi Paul, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your questions. We at CanAge applaud your advocacy efforts for seniors\u2019 rights. It is because of dedicated Canadians like you, that we see positive change occur!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We agree that home care is an essential service for older adults. In our roadmap to create an age inclusive Canada, called VOICES, we have developed multiple recommendations around care at home, including increased quality and quantity of home care services across the country. To learn more about our advocacy work, please visit www.canage.ca\/voices<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the most recent Ontario Budget, we were disappointed that no more funding was allocated towards care at home. However, we were pleased that in the recently released Federal budget, $90 million dollars will be used over the next three years, to help seniors Age Well at Home. As we collectively continue to advocate for home care, we are optimistic that funding will continue to be allocated for this important issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reaching out to your local government representative can take some time. Here are some tips that might be helpful in your advocacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
