Canadian Health Care System Makes 105 woman wait 2 more years for home-care.. after already waiting 10!

Yeah.. Canada has it so well over us. Good thing we will have the same thing with Obamacare! Once we get Obamacare, where will the Canadians go for healthcare?

North York resident Faina Mileikovskaia has been waiting for a long-term care home for 10 years. Recently, she was told she must wait another two years.

By that point, she’ll be 107 years old

As they wait, Faina’s daughter, Mila Mileikovskaia — who is 80 —provides round-the-clock care. Faina is partially blind and deaf, and suffers from delirium and hallucinations.

A personal support worker comes in for three two-hour sessions each week, arranged by the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), a provincial agency that manages long-term care. But Faina’s family says they need much more help.

“For me, it’s hard,” Mila said of her 105-year-old mother. “I can’t leave her alone. Every minute I need to see her. She sometimes falls down.”

According to the CCAC, residents who live in Faina’s area must wait an average of 108 days for a place in a long-term home. But part of the problem is that Faina doesn’t speak English and her family has requested a facility where Russian is spoken.
