Dee Tripp
Is a new vision for long-term care in Ontario possible?
Changing our culture of elder care requires a fierce and deep examination of the historic status quo and a brave commitment to doing things differently. Join Dee Tripp, Executive Director of the Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils (OARC), as she shares insights into the challenges facing long-term care (LTC), what the culture is and could be, and paving the path towards positive change so that homes are excellent places to live and work.
As Executive Director of the Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils (OARC), Dee has extensive experience leading the only organization in Canada—indeed, probably in North America—that represents residents to Government and stakeholders on behalf of their needs and interests. Through its interaction with Residents’ Councils in Ontario LTC homes as well as polling on the views of the 80,000 residents in those homes, OARC is uniquely positioned to inform sectoral policy and practices in the most positive light.
