I want to begin my report expressing our collective shock and mourning over the lives lost in the Nova Scotia rampage shooting. The pain is numbing and our love for the families and friends must be constant and vibrant. Only this collective demonstration of love can help the NS family, and the families and friends of each robbed life, carry on with their own. Please RT and add your commentary of love and strength to RNAO’s tweet. 

Today I am profiling one of the “forgotten,” but crucially important, health sectors: homecare. With hospitals geared to the pandemic, “decanting” less acute patients to their homes, and less able to attend to non-COVID conditions, homecare plays a central role in keeping persons in their homes and attending to their needs.
