Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada's Elders in the Wake of a Pandemic
It took the coronavirus pandemic to open our nation's eyes to the deplorable state of so many of the countries long-term care homes: the inhumane conditions, the overworked and underpaid staff, and a complete lack of oversight . . .
With empathy, clarity, and hard-won insight, veteran health reporter Andre Picard reveals the full extent of Canada's eldercare crisis, laid bare by the ravages of Covid-19, and offers an urgently needed prescription to fix a broken system.
“Everyone should read this book, and press our governments to heed Picard’s warnings and wise advice.” -- Montreal Review of Books
