TORONTO - Ontario will take a look at new national standards for long-term care, the minister responsible for the sector said Tuesday, but wouldn’t want to “water down” what the province is already doing to improve care.
Ontario Long-Term Care Minister Paul Calandra noted that the province has already legislated a goal of an average of four hours of direct care per resident per day by 2025. “I suspect Ontario will still have the highest standards in Canada...I’m uninterested in any guideline that would water down the very high standards that Ontario has put in place with the fixing Long Term Care Act.”
