Team to propose solutions to N.B. nursing home shortage Global News: Wednesday, January 26, 2011

A team of experts looking into future housing options for seniors has another solution. “We really don’t need to have people in nursing homes until nothing else will work,” says Dr. Kathleen Cruttenden.

Cruttenden says that policy makers need to consider options that would help seniors stay in their homes, such as co-housing, co-operative housing, or innovative building design.

The Atlantic Seniors Housing Research Alliance will present their findings at Fredericton City Hall on Thursday.

The Coalition for Seniors and Nursing Home Residents' Rights is comprised of groups and individuals who come together to endorse and promote shared principles.

It is a non-partisan, non-sectarian umbrella organization whose purpose is to lobby in order to achieve and maintain affordable and accessible programs that enhance the quality of life for seniors and their families.

Established in February of 2004, the Coalition is a broadly-based, in-incorporated organization of groups and individuals.

It has over 60 member groups that include seniors, retirees, labor, women's groups, church groups, legions, researchers and organizations committed to social justice. In turn, these represent over 100,000 members.

Any group supporting the Coalition's mission is welcome to join. Our activities are led by an 12 member Board. Board members are appointed by their respective organization.

The Coalition strives for cooperative decision-making and consensus.

All member organizations receive regular mailings and invitations to attend meetings and participate in group activities.

The Coalition has no on going funding or staff, although it gratefully acknowledges the generous support of its member group.

It relies on volunteer labor, fund-raising and contributions from members and supporters.
