NDP wants to nationalize for-profit long-term care facilities

“This facility has become a bit of a symbol in our province of the tragic consequences of COVID-19,” Love said. “It was here, at this location, that I think we learned really two difficult but important lessons. One is that the Saskatchewan Party government failed to act when it when it comes to solving the crises in our long-term care system, he said, while the other is the government took zero significant actions to protect seniors living in long term care during the pandemic s second wave. “When we see the scale of death, both in Saskatchewan, but across Canada, in for-profit long-term care facilities, what we see is that one thing becomes abundantly clear: and that s the profit model for care is broken, and it s failing seniors,” Love said. “Families who have suffered and lost members are left to sit and watch as the company that that that owns and runs these facilities generates immense profit, and pays out dividends to their shareholders. And this is wrong.”

Sask NDP Calling For Changes in Long-Term Care and an End to For-Profit Care in the Province

By Ryan Young Feb 2, 2021 6:21 PM Reforms in long-term care and ending for-profit care in Saskatchewan is what the Saskatchewan NDP is calling for following the disastrous impacts of COVID-19 at long-term care facilities in the province. NDP Leader Ryan Meili and Seniors Critic Matt Love made the calls on Tuesday morning while standing outside of Extendicare Parkside in Regina. Meili pointed to the “predictable and preventable” COVID-19 deaths that have been reported in for-profit long-term care during the second wave of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan. Extendicare, the only for-profit long-term care provider in Saskatchewan, has seen 43 deaths among residents from the COVID outbreak, while six residents of Extendicare Preston in Saskatoon have died.
