B.C.'s Seniors Advocate is raising issues with a report warning of a coming crisis in staffing for care homes.

The report, titled "Situation Critical," was released last month by the BC Care Providers' Association (BCCPA), and warned that the province will need to add more than 2,800 full-time health care aids in the next five years in order to meet demand.
