Continued Municipal Support for Long Term
Care
(October 18, 2001) -- New legislation introduced today by Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister, Chris Hodgson, will affirm continued support for a municipal role in long-term care. The legislation requires no change to the requirement for each municipality to operate a home for the aged.
“We are pleased to see recognition of the role and support municipal homes provide to their community,” stated Donna Rubin, CEO of the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS). “This confirms the important and excellent contribution municipalities make in providing not-for-profit services for seniors.”
“We wish to thank Tony Clement, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, for his support on this issue and his efforts to ensure the continued involvement of municipalities in long term care, “ Rubin added.
OANHSS is the provincial association representing not-for-profit providers of long-term care, services and housing for seniors. Its member facilities operate over 25,000 long term care beds across the province.
