Proper care of our elderly presents an ongoing debate Published Tuesday February 1st, 2011

Among the more recent topics Cassista has been vocal about is the recent report that stated the provincial government is considering hiking fees for nursing homes.

An ongoing concern for Cassista and her group is the debate around the suggestion that private long-term care is superior to public. Her latest contribution provides findings of a study released by the Institute for Research on Public Policy late last week that states, "Public long-term care is better. For-profit long-term care facilities are less likely to provide quality care than non-profit or public facilities."
