If elected I would address that directly through my seat on the County Council.
Understaffed LTC's are a major and growing concern. One we should continue to seek solutions for.
More staffing at facilities also brings more skilled workers into our communities so the importance of obtaining more on the ground staff isnt just health related its also economical.

Certainly, that is something that I was unaware of.
The Covid19 pandemic has shown that those who are most vulnerable are often sidelined and invisible. Thank you for raising this important issue.
Please do reach out to to me directly to discuss any specifics that may be relevant. Perhaps your observations and experiences can lead us to find improvements. The lessons can also help other vulnerable sections of our community.
