What is CARP doing to lobby the Government to regulate the uncontrollable price increases in the Assisted Living Homes I Ontario. My Mom’s monthly cost has increased by 68 % in less than three years. Why is CARP not standing up for elderly retired people. The elderly slightly demented person who cannot get into a Provincial Long Term Care Homes because they are all full and have waiting lists of 300 and 400 people.
Our provincial government controls rent cost for the young healthy employed persons but does nothing to control the care prices charged in privately owner Assisted Living Homes. The owners of these homes can charge what they want and increase their prices when ever they want.
I would like to hear what CARP has done recently to address this crime against the elderly

CARP works hard for us elderly people and we are very grateful!

Made a huge difference when j bought new cell phone and plan through Red Wireless (Rogers)

This association allows me to keep informed about current issues for seniors and to have a voice provincially and nationally in determining our future.

Dealing with current problems for Canadian retirees.

I just appreciate your ongoing advocacy in a land where as an individual you have no voice.No letters printed no phone calls answered Pretty discouraging when you are in your 80’s and realise democracy is non existent in Canada and prospects are grim with the three bills in parliament which will kill any freedom of expression

The magazine was top heavy on feminem issues. Not offended by the importance of feminem issues, just suggest some thought to masculine isses as well.

Great resources from CARP. And emailed information from CARP too. Would be great if more discounts were offered from retail and various service providers.

I find the it very informative

Your communication with members is poor to non-existent. I have on several occasions connected CARP, recently on October 6/25, but never recieve a reply. If I call and someone answers the phone (??), they will speak with me but there is no follow up. I have inquired a couple times regarding a chapter in New Brunswick, however there has been no communication or apparent interest. Also asked about promoting CARP in the atlantic region. Have heard nothing. Apparently there is no interest east of Ontario. Finally never hear CARP publicly speaking out on behave of seniors, at less not in my region. Maybe communications can improve in area. Until then I give a poor grade.

Your general live and online meetings engaging all of Canada with important people on Senior issues.

Only two meeting in - learned something in each meeting

THERE ARE 7 MILLION CANADIANS OVER THE AGE OF 65. AT MEMBERSHIP OF 250,000, THIS IS ABOUT 3.5%. MEMBERSHIP NEEDS TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED FOR CARP TO BE A VOICE HEARD AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

Very useful advice on many topics: transportation, government issues, car insurance...

I appreciate the overview provided by CARP. There are so many items of government and commercial business that affect seniors, it is good to have an advocate for our population segment.

Got a substantial discount on hearing aids. Appreciate many of the travel deals. New knee next week.Travel next winter!

I appreciate the offers for travel, sports participation and products offered at cheaper prices.

It’s amazing what you do for us, the elderly with your Company.
I feel privileged to be a Member!

Getting a savings on travel and home insurance was a bonus
