What believers are saying

  • Dementia training reaches beyond clinicians: AgeCare's Imagine program includes online modules and facilitated sessions for housekeeping staff through executives.
  • Clinical hiring spans several levels: AgeCare's October 2026 board lists nursing, personal-support and clinical-leadership jobs.
  • Leaders are learning new tools: AgeCare trained over 200 in AI and automation before October 2026's Innovation Lab launch.

What critics are saying

  • Employment terms differ by site: AgeCare's 2024 report lists 87 collective agreements, 20 unions and 135 benefit plans.
