Zoomer Squad: Long-Term Care Crisis

Published: Jan. 18, 2021, 6:05 p.m.

Libby Znaimer is joined by the Zoomer Squad's David Cravit, Vice President of Zoomer Media and Chief Marketing Officer at CARP, Bill VanGorder, Interim Chief Policy Officer at CARP, and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine. The latest iteration of CARP’s LTC campaign asks a very good question: Premier Doug Ford promised and actually did crack down on big box stores breaking the rules last weekend. It happened swiftly once they decided to do it. That seems to be in stark contrast to what happens when nursing homes are in violation. We’ve seen inspectors’ reports ignored and the homes themselves complain that when they really need help it takes too long because the bureaucracy kicks in dotting i’s and dotting t’s instead of reacting on an emergency basis.
