Towards Just Care: Evaluating Canada's Home Care System

The Towards Just Care Project evaluates Canada’s homecare system and aims to redefine what care means for recipients of homecare and homecare workers. Joeita Gupta invites us to join her at a round table with guests involved in advocacy and academia within the homecare sector. We hear from Mary Jean Jande, the Academic Lead of the Towards Just Care Project, about how the project got started. Megan Linton, the co-lead of the Towards Just Care Project, explains some of the intricacies of the current homecare system. Jill-Anne Santiago is the Program Coordinator at the Migrants Resource Centre and provides her perspective of how the current challenges in the homecare sector affect undocumented homecare workers. Brad Evoy is Executive Director of the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, urges people with disabilities to get involved in creating a better homecare sector. And he reminds us that many homecare workers will eventually be recipients of homecare themselves. If you want to get involved or look at the toolkit created by the Towards Just Care Project, visit their website at towardsjustcare.com.  About AMIAMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.
