In December, the BC Ombudsperson released part one of a special report on seniors' care in BC: The Best of Care: Getting It Right for Seniors in British Columbia (download the pdf). The report echoes many of the concerns raised in our own report released last April, An Uncertain Future for Seniors. The provincial government has accepted most of the recommendations; if they follow through with implementing them, British Columbians could see major improvements in services for seniors — as well as much greater accountability.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
