Primary care is the heartbeat of our health system. In rural and northern Ontario, it is often the lifeline.

This National , we are highlighting how physicians are working alongside care teams to strengthen seniors’ care across communities and in LTC homes.

In this recent episode of Coming of Age, Donna Duncan spoke with Dr. Tara Kiran, Michèle Lajeunesse and Jennifer Burns West. Together, they share how collaboration, research and local leadership are helping older adults stay healthy, connected and living with dignity close to home.

Innovation in long-term care isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now.

In new workforce models that strengthen care.
In dementia approaches that honour the whole person.
In partnerships that connect homes more deeply to their communities.

We know the pressures are real. And we also know what’s working.

Now it’s time to share it.

Caring for a loved one as their needs grow is deeply personal. And often, deeply exhausting.

In this episode of Coming of Age, we hear how long-term care is evolving to support not only residents, but the families who love them.

As needs become more complex, care is changing too. Clinical expertise is coming together with the lived experience of caregiving. More personalised. More connected. Built around the whole person.

Because when care is right, families can return to being daughters, sons and partners again.

Long-term care investment shows up where it matters most, in local communities.

In Durham Region, the Glen Hill Gardens redevelopment will modernize 99 spaces and add 125 new ones. The project will generate $120.8 million in GDP and $84.4 million in labour income.

The work is powered by local contractors, trades, and suppliers. It even includes planter boxes built by local high school students through a community grant. This project reflects what is possible when long-term care is built by the community, for the community.

Building new long-term care homes strengthens communities and local economies.

In New Hamburg, construction of the new Nithview long-term care home is generating $91.9 million in GDP and $60.4 million in labour income — supporting local jobs, trades, and economic growth.

When complete, this home will offer 160 modern spaces — not just a building, but a place of care, compassion, dignity — a true place to call home.

Because aging in place should mean aging in your community, surrounded by the people and places you know and love.

As Volunteer Week comes to a close, we simply want to say thank you.

In LTC homes across the province, volunteers are shaping daily life. Supporting residents. Standing alongside families. Strengthening communities.

At Perley Health, seven individuals were recognized with Circle of Excellence awards — a powerful reflection of the leadership, compassion and connection volunteers bring into LTC homes every day.

And they were not alone. 740 volunteers received Circle of Excellence awards this year. That's 740 people making a difference in the lives of residents living in long-term care.

A resident’s quality of life changed because someone had the courage to try something new in long-term care.

And we know there are stories like that unfolding in homes across Ontario — stories of dignity restored, of connection rebuilt, of staff going beyond what’s written in any care plan.

Those stories deserve a stage. The call for content is now open for This is Long Term Care ( ).

Yesterday, Moira Welsh’s new book The Astonishing Lives of Older Women was shared in Queen's Park. Kicking off an important conversation - Women live longer. But are we planning for longevity?

In a recent Coming of Age episode, Moira joined Donna Duncan to explore how aging, gender and public policy intersect — and why aging well is a societal responsibility.

Congratulations on the launch, Moira.

These and many other resident testimonials highlight the impact of the Optimal Mobility Program, a Kindera™ Living partnership with Achieva Health. Together, they have created an evidence-based and person-centred approach to help residents at risk for falls, especially those with repeated falls.

The result: a program that improves not only their physical ability, but also their confidence, motivation, and engagement.
