A/HRC/43/41/Add.2 Living independently in the community 98. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government: (a) Take immediate action to stop new admissions of persons with disabilities in all kind of institutions, including nursing homes, and establish timebound deinstitutionalization plans; (b) Adopt a rights-based approach to disability supports both in the federal and the provincial or territorial legislation and in programming to address the gaps in access to the supports that persons with disabilities require to live independently and to be included in their communities; (c) Implement comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable communitybased services and supports for persons with disabilities at the provincial and territorial level, including personal assistance; (d) Systematize and scale-up initiatives that have the potential to transform service provision and promote greater choice and control over services; (e) Increase the support available to parents to enable them to keep children with disabilities at home. Right to life 99.
