The government is trialling changes to a law that allows it to move long-term care patients into residences they didn't choose after unintended consequences for cultural LTC homes.
is trialling changes to a controversial long-term care law that allowed the province to place people into homes they hadn’t chosen, a move introduced to speed up wait lists and free up hospital beds.
“There is a recent reduction in residents who ‘match’ the culture served by the LTC home and that these concerns have impacted the ability of LTC homes to support the respective ethnic, religious and linguistic services they provide to their residents.
“The intent of the proposed Pilot is to evaluate how changes to LTC waitlist prioritization requirements can improve Ontarians’ access to cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistically appropriate care within the broader placement framework and continued prioritization of applicants based on need,” the proposed regulation said.
