Abstract

The authors reflect on the government health programs for elderly in Canada. The authors say that the three major federal parties had cited seniors on their policies and programs but only the Conservatives did not focus on seniors' health. Moreover, the authors note that the Canadian federal government could develop a partnership program for the integration of public and private sectors in developing residential options for seniors and providing affordable residential and institutional daycare.
