Government proposes providing long-term care residents with an average of four hours of direct care a day.
The Ontario government has released details of its plan to improve long-term care.
Long-Term Care Minister Rod Phillips announced some proposed changes that he says will increase care and accountability in the sector.
"After decades of neglect and underfunding by previous governments, we are fixing long-term care. This legislation, if passed, would protect our progress by supporting our commitments to increase staffing for more hours of direct care, enhance accountability, and build more modern beds."
Proposed changes include providing residents an average of four hours of direct care every day by March 31st, and doubling the fines for offences committed.
As well, the province also recommends better consumer transparency such as easier access to pricing details on retirement home rents and services in the earlier stages of the decision-making process.
