Working together to improve health care in Canada: Aging with Dignity bilateral agreements
The Aging with Dignity agreements support the shared priority of helping people in Canada age with dignity close to home, with access to home care or care in a safe long-term care facility.
The funding for the Aging with Dignity agreements includes:
- $2.4 billion over 4 years to improve access to home and community care remaining from the 2017 federal budget commitment to advance the Common Statement of Principles on Shared Health Priorities
- $3 billion over 5 years for long-term care from the 2021 federal budget to:
- apply standards of care in long-term care facilities
- help support workforce stability, including wage top-ups and improvements to workplace conditions
The Aging with Dignity agreements are underpinned by the same key principles and commitments as the Working Together bilateral agreements.
