The following is quoted from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care website.

Ontario is moving forward in developing its Seniors Care Strategy, which will help older Ontarians (age 65 and older) stay healthy, live at home longer and receive the right care, at the right time and in the right place. To support the development of this strategy, Dr. Samir Sinha, Expert Lead, Seniors Care Strategy, is asking all Ontarians, but especially older Ontarians, their families and caregivers, and health and social care professionals for their input.

In fall 2012, Dr. Sinha will provide recommendations to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care and will work with the health care sector to implement the strategy, once approved.

The following questionnaire provides an opportunity for Ontarians interacting with the health care system to have a voice and provide their perspective on things that matter to them. The information and insight you provide will help to inform our plans to better support older Ontarians stay healthy and live at home longer.

The questionnaire will take about 5 minutes to complete and is anonymous.

You are invited to participate in the survey which must be completed by August 31st. If you wish to do so please CLICK HERE
