Ontario lacks aging strategy as senior population surges, advocates say

Summary
Premier Doug Ford’s promise to add 58,000 new or renovated nursing home beds has led to just 11,000 completed spaces, while advocates say the province still has no overarching aging plan for cheaper and healthier options in the community. Instead of focusing primarily on the $6.4-billion construction project, Dr. Samir Sinha says the province needs a strategy for proactive, community-based health and social supports for an aging population that, according to Statistics Canada, will include 1.1 million Ontarians aged 85 and older within 20 years.
