The lead researcher on a new study looking at working conditions in long–term care homes in Nova Scotia says she wants to shed new light on the unsung heroes in the facilities, and improve the conditions for those who live there.
Janice Keefe, director for the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging, has been awarded a grant from Nova Scotia Health to interview employees in at least eight homes in the province and examine their work life.
