Louise's Story: 91 years old, home care program "on hold"

Posted by 9sc on August 14, 2024

We are feeling so discouraged by whats happening in AB.

I am a part time caregiver for my 91 yr old mom who has dementia. She is still living at home, but unable to access home care, because that program is 'on hold', so we have to hire agency nurses to help out.

My mom paid into healthcare her entire life, and needs it now - and she can't access it. 

Why can't the UCP help?
