About the Supporting Indigenous Culture in Long-Term Care Initiative
As the Indigenous elderly population continues to grow and increasingly enters long-term care (LTC), it is important to support the cultural needs of these elders. The Ontario CLRI’s “Supporting Indigenous Culture in Long-Term Care” initiative identified and developed culturally appropriate resources to support Indigenous residents in LTC. Resources were developed and spread with support from partnerships with Indigenous organizations and communities across Ontario and Implementation Advisors with experience in dissemination and implementation, and knowledge of LTC.
The project aligned with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) and work to address various Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015).
