We are currently looking at what we’re referring to as a continuum of care for seniors. That is looking at all the programs, and a priority is to try to keep seniors in their private homes to provide supports, perhaps making their units barrier free, working with NWT Housing Corporation or seniors friendly. That’s another level also, below barrier free, and so on. Right to where they’re starting with individuals attempting to keep them in their home as long as possible, right through to extended care and trying to fit the seniors into all of those supportive programs, and trying to keep them in their home as long as possible, and try to keep them out of long-term care and extended care as long as possible.
