We talk about the shortage of manpower and we ask ourselves: Where are the teachers? Where are the nurses? Where are the doctors? Where are the people likely to provide personal care and food, to do the housework, etc.? ? Shouldn’t we finally ask ourselves where are the famous caregivers (who are most of the time caregivers), on whom “the government is counting in particular” to achieve its targets aimed at reducing the presence of people who no longer need short-term care or people waiting for accommodation? Are these targets realistic? The deadlines mentioned are very short.
Having participated in the implementation of several “good plans”, I saw the pitfalls encountered. The why and the what are generally well identified, but it is the how that is often lacking. Caregivers become a fiction in our universe where children who have become adults often live very far from sick or elderly people. I imagine people returning home to Montreal in cramped accommodation, where families in financial difficulty live.
The proposed model will require structural adaptations and major efforts. Will the time limits for finding accommodation be applied? A thousand questions arise.
We all want improvements, but we also want realistic implementation. Pay attention to the return of women to the house to coordinate the daily life of those who will arrive in the homes.
