WHEREAS Ottawa has a significant and growing older adult population, who are living with a range of social and health needs; andWHEREAS women are disproportionately represented among older adults living in the community and needing support services to maintain their health, quality of life and independence; andWHEREAS the research demonstrates that the large majority of older adults (80%+) overwhelmingly express a preference for aging at home; andWHEREAS community agencies have further demonstrated that the costs of providing home-based services for older adults, such as transportation services, home-based personal and health supports as well as programs to combat isolation and food insecurity, are cost effective and lead to significant reduction in use of emergency services and delays in admission to long term care settings; andWHEREAS senior-serving agencies across Ottawa, including the Olde Forge, are providing effective and preventative services for older adults aging at home, and are only limited in their capacity to provide these services by financial restrictions; andWHEREAS community-based services for seniors save significant taxpayer money by leveraging existing community supports, empowering seniors to create, drive and deliver supports in a way that meets their own unique needs; and
WHEREAS the Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORC) model for supporting older adults to age at home, particularly the Oasis model which has been operating in Kingston for over ten years, have proven successful in decreasing emergency room visits by 26% and hospital admission by 40%, and have led to a 45% reduction in need for home care services for older adults living in Oasis-supported facilities; andWHEREAS Ottawa is currently hosting a two-year Oasis pilot project to demonstrate the efficacy and cost effectiveness of the Oasis model, in partnership with Queen’s University, the Olde Forge, the Ottawa Council on Aging and the residents in three Ambleside condos in Bay Ward; andWHEREAS Oasis pilot projects are also operating in Belleville, Hamilton, and London, and are in the process of being launched by community groups in a host of other Ontario cities; andWHEREAS several community groups and organizations in Ottawa are seeking funding to initiate much needed community-based services for seniors in their neighbourhoods;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor of Ottawa write to the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of Health and the Minister of Long Term Care to request a significant allocation of sustainable funding for a variety of community-based and evidence-driven aging in place supports, including the NORC/Oasis model, which are proven to increase quality of life and self-determination, prevent unnecessary use of emergency services, delay the need for admission to long term care facilities, and save significant taxpayer dollars.
