Long-term care in Canada is mostly made up of large, institutional facilities. They aren’t known as warm and inviting places to call home. But there is a growing movement for a culture change pushing for alternatives. In this episode of The Future Age podcast, host Zannat Reza explores a different model of long-term care, based on smaller homes with a more personalized experience.  

Dawn Harsch, founder of ExquisiCare, joins Zannat to talk about why she decided to build small care homes, the benefits those homes offer, and the future of this model of care.

In this episode of The Future Age podcast, host Zannat Reza explores the hidden economic value of caregiving with guest Diana Rodríguez Franco, Special Advisor on Gender and Diversity to the president of the Inter-American Development Bank. Diana talks about the true value of care work in the economy, how failing to recognize its worth disproportionately affects women, and the impact “time poverty” has on women’s economic and social opportunities. We’ll discuss how the care economy plays a fundamental role in sustaining global economic activity, and how governments around the world are finding new and innovative ways to support caregivers.
