The report points out that the for-profit sector generated 12 times the amount of profit generated by the not-for-profit sector, and spent more than twice as much on building expenses. The review also highlights wages paid to care aide staff in the for-profit sector can be as much as 28 per cent or $6.35 less per hour than the industry standard.
“It’s very concerning to me to think about what messages we’re saying to the people who might want to work in care when we see this kind of differences in wages paid within our publicly funded system that is all supposed to be delivering the same level of care,” Ms. Mackenzie said.
