I, along with my colleagues across the country who focus on analyzing policies and approaches to delivering the best care for Canadians in late life, find no comfort in the curtains finally having been pulled away to reveal the drastic lack of resources and supports available for these vulnerable populations. I can only hope that some transformative good may come from these most unimaginable circumstances.
With physical distancing in effect, there is minimal to no interaction with others. Caregivers are often unable to leave the house for basic necessities because they can’t leave their loved one with dementia at home alone.

Respite support and other community-care options may be challenged because of the restrictions.

43 residents at Mississauga long-term care home have now died of COVID-19Forty-three residents at a Mississauga long-term care home have died of COVID-19 since an outbreak was declared in March. I feel sadden about the deaths, and these ppl shouldn't be forgotten, and neither the hard workers.. however why keep on reporting about the deaths? I understand the media is trying to put the information that COVID19 is serious, and it IS...but I haven't seen tweet of recovery. The government has forgotten the bereaved families. As it is, my Nana was isolated for weeks & we were not allowed to visit. She died from contracting COVID-19 in a LTC home. But to add insult to injury, only 9 family members in total (plus clergy) are allowed into a funeral home Negligence or Covid ? Sketchy
