Ontario Ensuring Quality Care at Long-Term Care Homes
This information is provided by The Ministry of Health & Long Term Care
QUICK FACTS
•Since the fall of 2013, Ontario added 100 new inspectors.
•The vast majority of long-term care homes in Ontario are substantially compliant – on average that number is currently approximately 80 per cent. The percentage of substantially compliant homes varies due to ongoing inspections.
•Since 2003, 10,000 new spaces in long-term care homes have been created and just over 13,500 older long-term care spaces have been renovated.
•The number of nurse practitioners in Ontario’s long-term care homes will be increased from 18 to 93 over the next three years.
•Ontario is also funding additional resources at long-term care homes, including increasing Resident Care Needs Funding (RCN) by two per cent over the next three years, investing an additional $10 million annually in the Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) initiative and redeveloping more than 30,000 older long-term care resident spaces by 2025.
Supporting high-quality care at long-term care homes is part of the government's plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care; better home and community care; the information they need to live healthy; and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.
