  • Public Health

Background:

  • The existing framework for long-term care (LTC) in Canada faces significant sustainability challenges.
  • Current models of institutional care are financially burdensome for both government and recipients.
  • There is a growing need to re-evaluate and reform elder care systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the financial sustainability of Canada's current long-term care system.
  • To explore alternative models for elder care that align with population preferences.
  • To inform policy changes regarding support for aging in place.

Main Methods:

  • Policy analysis of the current long-term care system.
  • Review of financial models for elder care provision.
  • Examination of demographic trends and recipient preferences in Canada.

Main Results:

  • The current long-term care system is not financially sustainable.
  • Elderly Canadians strongly prefer to age in place within their homes and communities.
  • Policy reform is feasible and necessary to address these issues.

Conclusions:

  • The current model of institutional long-term care is unsustainable.
  • Prioritizing and facilitating aging in place is a more sustainable and preferred approach for elder care.
  • Policy must adapt to support community-based and home-based care models for seniors.
