'alternate level of care'

is the jargon of management which continues to be dressed up as something manageable...30% of this hospital beds at any one time occupied by patients waiting placement. Is this not a system that has failed? Everyone needs to take notice of what's happening, we need to build communities of care that care to keep our elderly at home or in their own community. How hard is that?

With a long-term care bed crisis that's among the worst in the country, more and more seniors are forced to wait it out in the hospital
