Kentucky Derby Museum President and CEO Pat Armstrong talks with Brian and Trisha at the Kentucky Derby Museum as part of AT&T Morning Line 2025.

When you think of a nursing home, ​you may ​p​icture a dull, grey ​p​lace. Dr. Pat Armstrong wants to change that. She is a Professor Emeritus at York University, and answer​s the question​, "Where is the joy in Nursing homes?" 

The Ontario government earmarked almost $5 billion in funding over four years to help long-term care homes hire and retain care staff. It's since added additional millions in incentives to attract thousands to become personal support workers over the next few years. For insight on whether those efforts can overcome the PSW shortages still projected by the province's fiscal watchdog, we welcome: Sharleen Stewart, president of SEIU Healthcare, a union representing more than 60 thousand frontline health-care workers; Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics, at Sinai Health; and Pat Armstrong, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of sociology at York University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an op-ed for the Toronto Star, our guest argues the case that privatization is not the ultimate enemy in Ontario's healthcare system - the search for profits is. GUEST: Dr. Pat Armstrong, Distinguished Research Professor with York University and a Fellow with the Royal Society of Canada, - The City of Hamilton recently set up a hotline for public workers, contractors etc to report fraud and waste in municipal spending.

GUEST: John Best, Publisher of The Bay Observer. - The Ontario Cannabis Store is trying to lower prices for manufacturers of pot. Will this help the industry? Will consumers see the cost benefit? GUEST: Mitchell Osak, CEO Quanta Consulting Inc

Every year, thousands of people from workplaces across Scotland take part in the Step Count Challenge, an online walking challenge where teams of five record their walking activity over eight weeks, compete on a virtual leader board and hopefully have a bit of fun with their colleagues along the way. The challenge has been running annually for over 10 years and more than 30 billion steps have been recorded in that time.  But, as we'll hear from our guests, the challenge is more than just a leader board. In this episode of Voices of the Walk, five participants in this year's spring Step Count Challenge tell us why they are taking part and what they hope to get from it. We hear from ACOSVO's Pat Armstrong, Scotways' Richard Barron, Paths for All's Emma Anderson, Parkinson UK's Lorna Fraser and Joe Hamill from Bells Food Group. They talk about how walking has helped them connect with their colleagues, provide space to think and clear the head, and challenge themselves to build walking in and around their busy working day.   www.stepcount.org.uk 

President/CEO Kentucky Derby Museum

On April 27, the Council of Canadians and the Canadian Health Coalition held an online day of action calling on the federal government to create national standards for long-term care in Canada, instead of handing the job off to an accreditation industry with no power to enforce standards. In this podcast, we hear from John Cartwright, Pam Beattie and Pat Armstrong. We’d like to thank the Council of Canadians and Canadian Health Coalition for making the recording of the event available to us.

The COVID-19 crisis offers an opportunity to create a new, better normal at Canadian long-term residential care facilities. The report’s short-term recommendations include: making all staff permanent and limiting their work to one nursing home; raising staff wages and benefits, especially sick leave; rapidly providing testing for all those living, working or visiting in homes; ensuring access to protective equipment immediately; and severely limiting transfers from hospitals. In the long term: evidence suggests policymakers should more effectively integrate long-term residential care into the the public health care system, through federal legislation similar to the Canada Health Act, in order to develop a universal public long-term care plan that is accessible and adequately funded; stop privatization and promote non-profit ownership; ensure protective equipment is stockpiled for the future; build surge capacity into labour force planning and the physical structure of facilities; and establish and enforce minimum staffing levels and regulations. GUEST:  Dr. Pat Armstrong, Distinguished Research Professor at York University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada - Ontario hasn’t seen the last of inspectors who fanned out across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Areas this weekend and uncovered dozens of COVID-19-related violations at big-box stores. Labour Minister Monte McNaughton says the province will expand and continue its blitz, which is meant to get the virus under control. McNaughton says 50 inspectors visited 110 retailers on Saturday alone and found 31 violations of COVID-19 prevention protocols. GUEST: Monte McNaughton, Labour Minister for the Ontario Government  - Conflicts of medicine, how they affect patient safety and health, why they are wrong, how they are concealed, not only at the individual but the institutional level and with Pharma GUEST: Dr. Nancy Olivieri,  Physician and a Professor of Pediatrics, Medicine and Public Health Sciences at the University of Toronto See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY Pat Armstrong's mum wrote in her primary school yearbook, that she should reach for the stars. Now many years later, that is precisely the same advice she would give to young people today. And, she adds, that these stars might well be much further than you imagine and as planes rarely travel in a straight line, there may well be many turns along the way. Pat is Chief Executive of ACOSVO, the Association of Chief Officers of Scottish Voluntary Organisations, whom she has led for 17 years. This is all a far cry from where it all began in Edinburgh's Pilton, where in summer the toes were routinely cut out of shoes during summer to make sandals. “We never thought of ourselves as living in deprivation, although growing up where your world is small, you don't see opportunities out there and will tend towards what you believe is available to you.”

A recent military report has highlighted the deplorable state of private nursing homes in Ontario, a scandal that experts and families have drawn attention to for years. It is hard to understand, impossible to accept, and Pat Armstrong has solutions. She's a distinguished research professor and sociologist at York University, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and has researched and published for decades on the issue of seniors care.

Our special guest today is Pat Armstrong. Pat is a sociologist and distinguished Research Professor at York University, and a leading expert in eldercare. She, along with an international team, just published the report “Re-imagining Long-term Residential Care in the COVID-19 Crisis.” We're going to take a deep dive into that issue. How did we get to this horrible place and what has to change from this point forward?Plus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid are back for The Herle Burly Political Panel. We'll debate the odds of a fall election and the vulnerability that awaits the PM and Premiers as attention shifts to a faltering economy.Watch conversations from The Herle Burly on YouTube.The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as Queen's Park Today.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.

As of April 6th, 26 residents of the 65-bed Pinecrest Nursing Home in Bobcaygeon have died from covid-19. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care says that 50+ nursing home residents have died across the province with 44 homes reporting active covid-19 outbreaks. Clearly, Long Term Care facilities, which are home to significant numbers of elderly residents with underlying health conditions and compromised immune systems, are pandemic hotspots. But does the way work is structured and organized within nursing homes create special or increased risks to residents, workers and the larger community? To help us answer this and related questions we interview Pat Armstrong, Research Professor of Sociology at York University and the author of two recent books on Long Term Care sector work: entitled “Wash, Wear, Care: Clothing and Laundry in Long Term Residential Care” and “The Privatization of Care: The Case of Nursing Homes”.Show Notes: https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Background-Resource-List-for-%E2%80%9CConvid-19-and-Ontario%E2%80%99s-Long-Term-Care-Homes.pdf
