[News] Monitoring Seniors Services 2024
The Office of the Seniors Advocate (OSA) released the Monitoring Seniors Services 2024 Report today which tracks trends over time for demographics, health care, completed surgeries, home support, long-term care, housing, rent and income supports, and abuse.
“Unfortunately, despite government investment in seniors’ services, we continue to fall behind meeting many basic needs. There is less home care, long-term care beds, rent subsidies and subsidized seniors housing available today per population compared to five years ago,” said BC Seniors Advocate Dan Levitt. “This is particularly worrisome when the seniors’ population in B.C. has grown 45% over the past 10 years and will continue to increase over the next decade.”
