Ontario Falls Short of Hands-On Care Target in Long-Term Care Homes

A newly updated document reveals that Ontario failed to meet its legislated target for the average number of hands-on care hours provided to long-term care residents. The province had set a target of three hours and 42 minutes of direct care per resident per day by March 31, 2024, but this goal was missed.

The Ontario government has since reached its goal for the 2023-24 fiscal year, but this was achieved outside the timeframe set by the Progressive Conservative government in a 2021 law. The next target is to ensure residents receive four hours of direct care per day by the end of the current fiscal year next March.

The document also highlights the ongoing issue of staffing shortages, with a need for 13,200 additional nurses and 37,700 personal support workers in Ontario. Ricardo McKenzie, director of long-term care for SEIU Healthcare, emphasized that the situation won't improve until workers have stable, well-paying jobs.
