A lawyer on the committee that developed the national standards says they won’t ‘water down’ what Ontario is already doing, but will be complementary
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.
“I’m going to take a look at the federal standards,” he said after making an announcement aimed at speeding up diagnostic testing for long-term care residents. The pilot projects are set to include transportation to appointments and increased access to a nurse navigator who can help co-ordinate services for long-term care residents.
Along with strengthening compliance, Meadus said the province should take particular note of the section on workforce and recommendations to pay long-term care staff more. Ontario introduced a pay bump for personal support workers during the pandemic and made it permanent last year.
