FREDERICTON – New Brunswick’s seniors advocate says the province lags behind in culturally appropriate long-term care for First Nations.
In a new report, Kelly Lamrock says inadequate progress has been made in offering compassionate care for diverse communities.
Last year, Lamrock had said the province’s long-term care sector reflected its majority European and Christian heritage.
Now, Lamrock says the departments of Health, Post-Secondary Education and Aboriginal Affairs should draw up agreements for culturally appropriate and financially accessible long-term care for First Nations.
He says it is also important that regional long-term care authorities show a commitment to cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.
The New Brunswick government says it is working with the federal government to improve long-term care for First Nations.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 1, 2025.
