Long-Term Care Homes Program - vote 4502

The Ontario government is building healthier and safer communities by creating a 21st century long-term care sector that focuses on residents and a place our province’s most vulnerable can call home. To support this vision the Ministry of Long-Term Care (the "ministry") will be focusing on the development of 15,000 new beds and redeveloping an additional 15,000 beds to modern design standards.

Our government has an innovative and flexible plan to responsibly incent development so that our aging population can receive the care it needs and deserves. This plan includes addressing the different regional experiences operators face and identifies several province-wide barriers experienced across the sector. Ontario’s government is investing in long-term care development so we can get shovels in the ground and ensure our most vulnerable Ontarians are off waitlists and in beds faster.

The ministry is also leading the response, in collaboration with sector partners, to the recommendations contained in the report from the Public Inquiry into the Safety and Security of Residents in the Long-Term Care Homes System.
