Alberta will get 500 new supportive living, long-term-care spaces by 2014
Home > Blog > Alberta will get 500 new supportive living, long-term-care spaces by 2014We applaud the government for providing more living spaces for elderly andhandicapped. Unfortunately however, of the 500 spaces, only 30 of the spaces
are designated for long term care. The needs of persons who require long term care cannotbe met in supported living or assisted living spaces.For example our long serving, respected Premier now requires such care. Is he there because itis some sort of luxury accommodation? No, he is there because he needs the total care. We submit that for all Alberta citizens who require that level of care, care should be available.
To date, this need embraces only about .4% of the Alberta population.
Alberta citizens should not have to grovel, for what for them might be loosely termed, a necessity of life. For decades we have been promised more beds. We submit that it is time, that the powers that be,
finally produced them.
