Description

Guest: Moira Welsh, investigative reporter In the middle of the pandemic, when baby boomers hit the milestone age of 75, they awakened to the reality of growing old in Ontario and they’re not going quietly into nursing homes. They want to age with purpose, energy and love. Their message to politicians? Get rid of the medicalized culture of nursing homes. Moira Welsh, investigative reporter and author of “Happily Ever After: Revolutionary Approaches to Long-Term Care,” discusses the future of aging in Ontario and whether real change is coming in elder care. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Matthew Hearn
