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.
Stabilizing operating funding
Providing safe, quality care for residents
means long-term care homes need a stable,
predictable funding model.

Building and redevelopment
The Ontario government has made historic commitments to rebuild outdated homes and to create new spaces to meet the growing population of seniors. Many homes, however, face impediments to construction and redevelopment.

Addressing the staffing crisis
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.
