Description

In November 1997, Health Minister Halvar Jonson initiated a comprehensive, two-year review of long term care services in the province. The purpose was to consult with Albertans, review trends and alternatives, consider the impact of an aging population, and develop a comprehensive direction for moving Alberta’s continuing care system into a new millenium. A Long Term Care Policy Advisory Committee was established to guide the review, provide advice on specific issues and develop recommendations for the future. In November 1999 the Committee presented its report to the government. Part One of this report provides an overview and highlights of the Committee’s new vision for continuing care and meeting the needs of an aging population in the province. It includes key recommendations both for addressing immediate pressing needs and for implementing new directions for the future.
