P.E.I. votes 2023 — It’s time for better health care and housing for older adults

As Prince Edward Island prepares to head to the polls in 2023, its residents are increasingly advocating for improved health care and housing for its aging population. The province’s elderly population has been growing rapidly in recent years, and with it has come an increased demand for services and support. The provincial government has taken notice, and is looking to make substantial investments in both health care and housing for older adults.

The push for better health care and housing for seniors is rooted in the reality that, as people age, they often require additional medical attention and support. As a result of this, the province is aiming to enhance the availability of medical services, as well as to bolster the quality of residential care for elderly persons. In particular, there is a focus on improving the safety and security of seniors in their own homes, as well as on mitigating the risk of falls and other medical emergencies.

To this end, the government is investing in the expansion of home care services, such as providing additional home-care workers and investing in new technologies and services to assist seniors. Additionally, the province is increasing its investment in long-term care homes and other residential care facilities, with the goal of providing a more comprehensive and cost-effective approach to care.

At the same time, the province is also investing in initiatives that seek to improve the quality of life for older adults. This includes expanding the availability of affordable housing, as well as increasing the number of social programs and recreational activities available to seniors. The government is also looking to make improvements to the province’s public transportation system, in order to better meet the needs of seniors.

Ultimately, the goal of the provincial government is to ensure that all seniors in Prince Edward Island have access to the health care and housing they need to enjoy a good quality of life. With the upcoming election, it is hoped that the people of the province can make their voices heard and push for the investments necessary to make this a reality.
