In this session, Ms. Teasdale will focus on the importance of a more complete model of care that looks to maintain the journey of discovery that is life, and the need to allow an individual’s character, vitality, and life contributions to continue to shine through the caregiving relationship. Specifically, she will speak on the homecare services model of the future where individuals, their families, and their communities need to be put at the centre of the continuum of care. Ms. Teasdale will also present on the service structures and systems that should be developed in order to meet different life and lifestyle needs of a diverse aging population.
