Ontario Long Term Care Home Association

 

The issues

​

Long-term care homes provide affordable housing, individualized supports and a caring environment for people living with conditions such as later stage dementia or severe stroke. Ontario’s long-term care homes are proud of the high-quality care they offer residents. But the sector faces three urgent challenges in meeting the growing complex needs of Ontario’s elderly citizens.

Providing safe, quality care for residents

means long-term care homes need a stable,

predictable funding model.

If long-term care homes do not have the staff

needed to continue providing safe, quality

care, they will never be able to operate

with stability.

Ontario needs over 30,000 new long-term care spaces to serve the number of people currently on the long-term care wait list. We also need an additional 48,000 spaces by 2029 to meet the growing demand.
