Welcome Home: Helping Families Prepare For Long-term Care

description

Welcome Home works as a three part initiative: a campaign, workbook and website, to better prepare family members and potential residents for the realities of long term care. Rather than conceptualizing older people as needing to be placed in a care home which implies passivity, Welcome Home encourages their involvement as active participants in their own health -making active choices, decisions and judgements about their new environment.
