Shaping the Future of Métis Long-Term and Continuing Care

About this project

We recognize that long-term and continuing care encompasses diverse experiences and perspectives. Through this project we will engage Métis long-term and continuing care recipients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community members interested in the future of LTCC in Alberta to create a comprehensive understanding of how Métis Albertans experience this care. The Otipemisiwak Métis Government and Indigenous Services Canada will use the information from this project to:

  1. Inform the co-development of a distinctions-based long-term and continuing care framework for Métis Albertans.
  2. Inform decisions about the future of long-term and continuing care services, health, and social services for Métis Albertans.
  3. Support conversations leading to a tripartite Federal-Provincial-Territorial-Indigenous (FPTI) Memoranda of Understanding, clarify existing funding relationships and build governance capacity.
  4. Help all levels of government to understand the challenges and gaps in providing long-term and continuing care services.
