Join the Third Age Centre for “The ‘Neglected and Forgotten’ Report and its Aftermath” a talk by Norma Dube on Thursday, Nov. 2 from 2-4 PM at the Forest Hill United Church, 45 Kimble Court.

In June 2022, the New Brunswick Francophone Association of Seniors (AFANB) released its report New Brunswick Elders-Neglected and Forgotten after a year of discussions with seniors, families, and stakeholders on the state of the long-term care system in the province as a means of giving seniors a voice on services they receive (or donate) in nursing homes, special care homes and in-home supports.  The Association identified many serious problems and declared the situation to be critical and urgent calling upon the government to make significant improvements in the care being provided to seniors.  A few recommendations were put forward to decision-makers for short-term and long-term improvements.  It is now a year+ since the release of the report and questions remain - are seniors being treated the way they deserve and do we, as a society accept the status quo? 

Norma Dube was the chair of the AFANB committee that produced the Neglected and Forgotten Report.
