• continum of care development
• LTC redevelopments

• small group homes
• sufficient care at home
• naturally occurring retirement communities
• affordable retirement housing
• smaller LTC bldgs
• complex continuing care
4️⃣ upholding the human rights of people living in or needing LTC by building them into care practices & quality measurements

5️⃣ accomodating disabilities & communication issues

6️⃣ Providing adequate funding that keeps up with inflation. We all will need some form of LTC one day
