We promised to build more long-term care homes. Now, we’re getting it done. I was thrilled to attend the opening of the new Humber Meadows long-term care home. This state-of-the-art facility is adding another 320 beds so more people can connect to long-term care close to home.
@fordnation The Ford Government is corrupt and they are liars.
@fordnation Why not get the current ones better first before building newer ones?
@fordnation Interesting you forgot to mention this about the CEO. @OntarioPCParty So what % will be public vs private LTC beds?
@fordnation I’m sure Mike Harris appreciates your concern for him .
@fordnation Not enough, @fordnation , not enough. And while you’re at it, would you mind working on that “Iron Ring” you spoke so much about? Or is it going to be like the “we won’t touch the green belt” kind of thing?!
@fordnation I don't want more long-term care "institutions" (they are NOT homes)! I don't know anyone who wants to live in one. Put funding into adequate home and community care options. #HomeCare #seniorcare
@fordnation Are these additional beds or replacing an older facility? In my location we are getting a new LTC building but your party often forgets to say an older facility is being closed so virtually no additional beds here. Doesn't help the bed shortage.
@fordnation Are these LTCs ‘for-profit’ or ‘non-profit’?? Will people like Stephen Harper be involved?? Who is going to staff these LTCs, and will they be hired full-time or have to hold several part-time jobs to earn a living wage??
@fordnation That’s great but I don’t know how you’re going to staff them. I work an LTC and we’re still half staffed by agencies, making more money than direct employees. How would you like to go to work knowing the person beside you making $15-$20 an hour more?
