The province’s long-term care system needs urgent action if New Brunswickers are going to feel safe relying upon it, according to a new report from Child, Youth and Seniors’ Advocate Kelly Lamrock. “We heard from 300 New Brunswickers and more than 50 experts and organizations in preparing this report,” said Lamrock. “We heard loud and clear that New Brunswickers want to feel they can trust that the necessary support will be there when we need help caring for ourselves. We also heard loud and clear that the trust is not yet there. There are good people providing long-term care, but the system that supports, encourages and funds their work is not yet there.” More: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/news/news_release.2024.03.0116.html.
