Super bowl

I was delighted to see the January/February 2022 cover. After a month of indulging in sweets, luxurious meals and drinks, I’ m looking forward to preparing a month of mouthwatering “ green ” meals.

However, I do love oatmeal, so this morning I prepared your champorado [“A sweet start, ” January/February] and savoured this delicious breakfast bowl—topped with coconut, almonds and dried cranberries—all to myself!

Essential reading

The article about LTC [“The long-term care toll, ” January/February] is scary and excellent. Kudos to the author, Nora Loreto, for the extensive research. Every family should read this and demand the end of

for-profit senior care! The past two years have been eye-opening, frustrating, tragic and exhausting for families and caregivers. — Beth Dubeau, Penetanguishene, Ont.

Thanks for your great article on LTC facilities. Families are indeed in an unenviable position. No matter where a patient lives, the family caregiver has a heavy workload. I am approaching this chapter in my life and I’ m scared—scared for me, scared for a lack of care and scared for my daughter, who has a full-time job as well as a family and pressure to look after me at a long-term facility. The government gave help to schools, daycares, oil fields. Isn ’t it time to help LTC patients? — PT, Bedford, N.S.
