Wilson urges government to tackle elder care shortages and oversight gaps

Gromyko Wilson is calling on the St. Maarten government to take urgent action on a growing crisis in elder care on the island. Wilson has raised concerns about a shortage of available spots in senior care facilities, leaving families without adequate options for aging relatives. Beyond the lack of capacity, he is also highlighting the significant financial burden placed on families who struggle to afford elder care services. Wilson is further pushing for clearer regulations and stronger oversight of the elder care sector to ensure quality and accountability. The call comes amid broader concerns about the island's aging population and the infrastructure needed to support it. Without government intervention, families on St. Maarten may continue to face difficult and costly decisions around the care of their elderly loved ones.
