Where do the federal parties stand on fixing long-term care?

"If you look at a recent survey commissioned by the National Institute on Ageing, 96% of Canadians over 65 would do everything they can to avoid moving into a nursing home. Homecare is the forgotten stepson/stepdaughter of Canadian healthcare. We need to keep seniors at home by providing homecare resources, which is not only what seniors want in this country, it's also extremely cost effective when you compare it to long-term care expenditures," says Dr. Bob Bell, NIA Senior Fellow and former Deputy Minister of Health and Long-term Care in Ontario.
