By 2040, the population over 80 will more than double, but our perceptions of aging and plans for seniors’ care innovation have not kept pace.

Let’s change the conversation.

Coming of Age features host Donna Duncan, CEO of the Ontario Long Term Care Association, in lively discussions with national and international experts on ageism and how to reimagine seniors’ care.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;How do we build a better future for seniors?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt; Elderly populations around the world are growing. And in regions like Ontario, Canada, one in five seniors over the age of 80 have complex care needs that currently can only be safely met in long-term care. Yet Ontario has more than 40,000 people waiting for long-term care and the list is growing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;In this episode, Donna Duncan is joined by three Ontario health system leaders from hospital, long-term care and community care:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Karli Farrow, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;President and CEO, Trillium Health Partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Nitin Jain, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;President and CEO, Sienna Senior Living&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Tess Romain, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;President, Partners Community Health&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Listen as they discuss the challenges facing leaders today and what opportunities they see for the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Resources:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oltca.com/advocacy/multi-sector-action-plan-to-support-our-frail-elderly/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;How to support our frail elderly, a Suggested Action Plan&lt;/a&gt;, by leaders across the health sectors in Ontario, who have identified existing solutions that can be expanded to support seniors’ care for our growing, elderly population.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Harvard Business Review:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hbr.org/2023/09/create-stories-that-change-your-companys-culture&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hbr.org/2023/09/create-stories-that-change-your-companys-culture&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);&quot;&gt;Create Stories That Change Your Company’s Culture, Work with these six building blocks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;. by Jay B.
