June is Seniors’ Month in Ontario—and yet, the challenges older adults face remain underfunded, understaffed, and under-discussed.
In this urgent and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Delphine Haslé, Executive Director of The Perley Health Foundation, to unpack one of the biggest crises we’re not talking about enough: the growing breakdown of our long-term care system.
As our aging population increases, the gap in care, staffing, infrastructure, and policy continues to widen — putting families, caregivers, and entire communities at risk. Delphine doesn’t just raise awareness. She raises the standard of what compassionate, forward-thinking leadership can look like in healthcare.
We talk about:
- Why our current senior care model is failing
- The unique needs of veterans, who make up 40% of Perley’s residents
- What happens when placement options run out
- And the policy and funding changes we urgently need to avoid collapse
Aging is inevitable. But how we care for people as they age? That’s a choice. And right now, we need to choose better. Tune in and rethink what aging with dignity should really mean.
