A: Healthcare systems play an important role for persons living with declining health. However, globally the most innovative programs are also acknowledging the importance of communities and neighbours to supporting those living with declining health. This is often referred to as a compassionate community approach to care. We know that even though healthcare systems are essential, the vast majority of care is provided by friends and family. Specially trained volunteers can play an important role in helping to facilitate communities to care better for their own.
