Ontario Ombudsman Launches Against the Province Regarding LTC Homes Oversight During the Pandemic

An investigation into the oversight of long-term care homes by the Ontario Governments Ministry of Long Term-Term Care and Ministry of Health has been launched by Ontario Ombudsman Paul Dubé today.

ONTARIO - An investigation into the oversight of long-term care homes by the Ontario Governments Ministry of Long Term-Term Care and Ministry of Health has been launched by Ontario Ombudsman Paul Dubé today. 

The investigation will focus on whether the oversight of long-term care homes by those ministries during the coronavirus crisis is adequate to ensure the safety of residents and staff.

Mr. Dubé said he is invoking his authority to investigate on his own initiative, without receiving complaints, in light of the grave concerns raised by COVID-19 outbreaks in long-term care homes across the province, and the report last week by Canadian military personnel that revealed shocking conditions in five such homes.

"The Canadian Armed Forces report painted a stunning portrait of the situation in long-term care during this crisis; our investigation will look at the systemic issues that led to it, and will make constructive recommendations for corrective action. Determining the root causes of administrative dysfunction and recommending practical solutions is what we do."
