No place for profit in our care homes say Gazan and Asagwara
“We need to take profit out of home care,” said Gazan. This is about taking care of people, and we should not be profiting on the backs of seniors. This has been made even worse by the extreme cutbacks to health care by the Pallister government. We are in a crisis.”
The deaths in long-term care home across the country is a national tragedy. Family members are now increasingly concerned for the health and safety of their loved ones living in long-term care. The NDP is calling on the federal government to make substantial investments to ensure facilities have the resources they need to properly care for residents and staff.
“Manitobans deserve a government who matches their commitment to stay safe and healthy,” said Asagwara. “They need to listen to healthcare workers and residents and work together to keep the virus from spreading and to make sure residents get the care they deserve. Personal care homes should be about patient care not profit.”
