Join policymakers, clinicians, project leads, design and construction professionals, as they explore opportunities to build LTC and healthcare infrastructure in a way that supports both residents and caregivers.

Canada, like many other countries is experiencing a significant demographic shift. The number of older adults – led by the baby boomer generation – is growing. While many seniors are living longer healthier lives and can remain at home, others will need additional support in the years ahead. The current system is not equipped to handle the volume and complexity of long-term care needs. Recognizing this, provinces, like British Columbia are making investments and moving fast to expand LTC and design healthcare environments with seniors in mind.

This conference will take a holistic look at the challenges ahead, by exploring tensions present at the intersection of funding, care models, LTC standards, IPAC considerations, and goal of creating a place that seniors are happy to call home.
