Ontario’s 626 long-term care homes are not meeting the needs of their 79,000 residents. For decades, successive governments ignored dozens of reports and recommendations to improve care in nursing homes. Today, Ontario continues to underfund and understaff homes. An aging resident population with increasing complexity calls for increased care from staff with the right skill mix. COVID-19 has exposed chronic underfunding and under-staffing with devastating and tragic consequences.
