Keeping Couples Together in Long-Term Care

Your brother, Nathan Sethi, joins you for a tour of Hearthgate Care Home in Fenridge, a suburban community in Alberta. You are exploring long-term care options for your grandparents, who need different levels of daily assistance. Hearthgate is reviewing whether to give couples priority for places in the same home. This could help partners maintain their relationship and familiar routines. However, waiting for suitable spaces for both partners could delay a move, and giving couples priority could mean longer waits for other applicants. Nathan asks what you think.
