Ontario’s changing demographics bring challenges to the home care sector. Three issues are at the intersection of these challenges: the rapid growth of our aging population, the expanding ethnocultural diversity of our seniors, and the pressure felt by the home care sector. We usually think of them separately, but when they intersect there’s a multitude of new factors we need to consider.
This paper explores the intersection of ethnocultural and linguistic diversity within our aging population and the implications for home care in Ontario.
