Poor state of the long term care Canada
Canadian health care system or long term care canada is already in a state of crisis. Those who have family or friends on long-term care waiting lists know that the situation is becoming desperate. The shortage of long-term care beds is so severe and in some cities the wait can last from one to four years, depending on the facility. With growing pressure from an ageing population, the long term care Canada system simply cannot handle the increasing burden. Our long term care Canada medical system is already unable to deal with the overload, and we are seeing drastic cuts in funding for residential long-term care.
