Summary

Ontario is fixing the Long-Term Care system so that every resident experiences the best possible quality of life, supported by safe and high-quality care. To support this, the Government is making historic investments and legislation in three priority areas -Improving Staffing and Care; Protecting Residents through Better Accountability, Enforcement and Transparency; and building modern, safe and comfortable homes for our seniors.

 

The ministry works with the Ministry of Health and other partners to improve the quality of life in long-term care homes and to accelerate the development of new, modern long-term care spaces across the province to support Ontario’s growing population of seniors.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges in the health and long-term care sectors. The ministry is committed to applying lessons learned to build and strengthen long-term care that works in the best interest of residents and the people who work so hard to keep them safe.

Long-Term Care Homes Program - vote 4502

Ontario is fixing the Long-Term Care system so that every resident experiences the best possible quality of life, supported by safe and high-quality care. To support this, the Government is making investments and introducing legislation in three priority areas -Improving Staffing and Care; Protecting Residents through Better Accountability, Enforcement and Transparency; and building modern, safe and comfortable homes for our seniors.

 

As well, the government is investing in Long-Term Care development and redevelopment to ensure Ontario's most vulnerable are off waitlists and in beds faster. To support this vision, the Ministry of Long-Term Care (the "ministry") will be focusing on the development of 30,000 net new long-term care beds over the next decade and redeveloping older long-term care beds to the current 2015 design standards.

 

The ministry is also leading the response, in collaboration with sector partners, to the recommendations contained in the Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission report and the Special Report on Pandemic Readiness and Response in Long-Term Care from the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario.
