The TD Leadership Panel: Where Am I Going to Live? Ageing Boomers and the Future of Congregate Living.Moderator – Francesca Grosso

With the future wave of Boomers retiring and seniors living longer with more complex medical conditions, the shift of this relentlessly reformist group risks creating a gaping hole in Canada’s economic fabric and health care system, a challenge that demands leadership and solutions, now. The top three priorities for Boomers are the ability to exercise, live comfortably, and enjoy an active lifestyle in good health. Are these expectations realistic? Will affordability, access to housing and high quality health care services limit choices and options? As the needs of Boomers increase with age, will they be adequately met by a rapidly growing homecare system alone, or will a diverse and robust congregate living continuum be necessary for tomorrow’s seniors to thrive? Join our esteemed panel for a lively discussion on how living in a congregate setting can be part of the solution, promoting

not only social inclusion and community engagement, but also by providing more effi cient access to services and support through congregate settings like retirement and long term care communities.

The Exhibit Hall features more than 340 companies with the latest products and services for the long-term care and retirement homes community. This area is the hub of the conference with exhibits, demonstrations, the Culinary Theatre and much more. ■H
