Accesible, high-quality care for seniors : this issue touches everyone at some point in their lives — seniors receiving health services, people caring for aging relatives, anyone who worries about what their own life will be like when they grow old.

Carla talks about the challenges of helping seniors as a home support worker.

In British Columbia, home support services have been cut back in recent years. Home support helps seniors to live independently at home. Workers provide personal care services such as assistance with bathing and dressing, as well as help with medications and simple wound dressings.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
