Abstract:
Canada requires a strategic plan to care for frail elders in the home. The nation needs a holistic system that addresses the multiple, often unique and dynamic needs of seniors, caregivers and families. This essay introduces ethical, technological and stakeholder engagement considerations that may help Canada move forward with a strategy that offers the capacity to better understand the perspectives of different stakeholders and champions high-quality homecare services. Stakeholder engagement can draw on the concept of brokered dialogue (Parsons and Lavery 2012) as a way to study and ethically design a high-quality national homecare strategy.
