$20 Sponsors our Long-Term Care Home Advocacy Work

Through our Policy & Advocacy Committee and Inspections Review Team, Concerned Friends identifies important issues in the long-term care home (LTCH) system and brings these issues to the attention of government officials. Each year, we submit letters and position papers to the Government outlining the key LTCH issues and possible solutions. Overall, these issues have consistently fallen into the following categories:

  • Lack of accountability, enforcement and funding for compliance to meet new LTCH standards.
  • A need to increase quality and safety of care.
  • Address LTC human resource challenges (staffing levels and working conditions).
  • Increase the total number of LTCH beds in Ontario.
