## Resource

Families are drowning in a long-term care crisis as hospitals promise quick discharges but leave seniors stranded with no real support — often forcing caregivers to clear out their homes, shoulder impossible physical and emotional burdens, and face wait times stretching to years while costs soar. With new care facilities on hold and existing services stretched thin, seniors are going without care, hospitals are overloaded, and the system is collapsing under the weight of unmet need — all while families are left to pick up the pieces with no safety net.
