![]() ![]() More staff means more care for residents in our long-term care homes. We will be increasing direct care from 2.75 hours to 4 hours over 4 years. To meet this goal, we are investing $270 million to hire more than 4,000 staff this year alone. In Oakville North-Burlington, this means our six long-term care homes will receive $3.4 million this year alone. Our government will ensure seniors in long-term care receive high-quality, compassionate care when they need it.” – Effie Triantafilopoulos MPP Acting to Immediately Increase Staffing in Long-term Care, Leading to More Direct Care for Residents The Ontario government will provide up to $270 million this year to long-term care homes across the province to increase staffing levels, leading to more direct care for residents. This includes $3,384,045 for long-term care homes in Oakville North—Burlington. This is part of the province’s commitment to ensure long-term care residents receive—on average—four hours of direct care per day by 2024-25. It was also announced that as part of the government’s plan to fix long-term care, it will bring forward legislation that will enshrine its commitment to four hours of care into law. These funds will increase care for residents at: Chartwell Waterford Long Term Care Residence, in Oakville, will receive up to $598,442 for additional staffing this year to increase the hours of direct care for residents.

The government is investing $4.9 billion over four years to boost direct resident care to an average of four hours daily by increasing care staff by more than 27,000 people.

The new program builds on Ontario’s recent changes allowing both publicly-assisted colleges and universities to offer a baccalaureate degree in nursing to increase opportunities for students to access a high-quality education. This includes stand-alone Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs offered at universities, colleges, and through collaborative university-college partnerships. ![]() Please click here to watch the video ![]() ![]() ![]() I joined Minister Rod Phillips at George Brown College to announce that Ontario will be providing $270 million this year alone to hire more than 4,000 new staff in long-term care homes.
