We don’t have an
action plan per se. What we do have is Our Elders: Our Communities framework which focuses on seven different priority areas: healthy and active aging; home and community care services; integrated and coordinated services across the continuum; getting people to work together, as the Member has described; caregiver supports; elder- responsive communities is another initiative that
we’re working on with communities and partners; and ensuring that there are sustainable and best practices available for all of the care providers and residents of the Northwest Territories.
We are also working on the development of an NWT Continuing Care Service Delivery Action Plan which will focus on facilities and where we need to be building facilities, recognizing the large increase of seniors we are going to be seeing over the next number of years. This project is going to help us figure out when, where and how to build facilities to meet those needs. So, there are a number of different things happening, Mr. Speaker.
