Despite the Ford government’s recent attempts to increase standards of care in Ontario’s long-term care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, a co-chair of Pioneer Manor’s Family Council said that while it’s nice, it’s too little too late.
“The announcement about increasing personal care to four hours per day is great,” said Terry Martyn, who also sits on Ontario’s Northeast Family Council Network. ”But it’s all of the other details around it that make absolutely no sense.
“Nothing will come into effect for another four to five years. That’s not good enough. Residents need more care right now.”
