My sister was 45 when she passed away in LTC, they are forgotten, most younger residents don’t have kids or family to advocate for them. The homes are a complete failure for this demographic.

My daughter has been in LTC since May 2024, she turned 50 April 2024. Unfortunately she was in a hospital, in-crisis status and was sent to a LTC that the building is 50 years old. She has been in 3 different rooms and has Not been able to access the washrooms due to the fact that her wheelchair cannot fit thru the narrow doorways of the building requirements 50 years ago! No mandate from the Ministry has been forthcoming to have the doorways of these Class C homes be brought to todays standards. Not a big problem for most of the residents as they are in diapers. Also, activities, music, entertainment, etc is generated to accommodate residents age of 75 to 80, Not fun for a 50 year old. The food choices and preparation are Not vegetarian choices, but smaller and mushy in texture

It’s disheartening to think someone as young as 19 being placed in a nursing home when they could thrive in supportive housing designed for them.

It’s concerning to see younger adults placed in nursing homes, where their needs and lifestyles often aren’t met. We need to advocate for more appropriate living arrangements that cater to their unique circumstances.

As a health care provider in the field of Vertigo, concussion and chronic pain management, early rehabilitation is the most important factor in the recovery process. Our lack of health care providers and lack of awareness make situations worse. After the introduction of Rowan’s law it’s better than ever. Hopefully the government will increase funding towards this would help early rehabilitation of young victims of concussion.
