POSTMEDIA<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nOntario needs to hire between 10,000 and 15,000 workers in long-term care homes \u201cright now,\u201d according to Liberal health critic John Fraser.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a Zoom news conference Thursday, Fraser said in one extreme case from Ottawa, a long-term care worker is looking after 30 senior patients with COVID-19.<\/p>\n
And the problem, he says, is only getting worse, as more personal support workers (PSWs) and other employees at long-term care homes leave their positions for better pay and working conditions in other fields.<\/p>\n
Fraser was one of several speakers at the news conference held by the Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) on a day of action urging the Doug Ford government to \u201ctake immediate action to address (the) staffing crisis\u201d in long-term care homes.<\/p>\n
While a motorcade encircled Queen\u2019s Park in Toronto and protests were held at 24 other locations across the province, including Sudbury, OHC executive director Natalie Mehra said the coalition \u201chas been waiting all summer\u201d for the province to react.<\/p>\n
Six months ago, she noted, British Columbia took steps to hire thousands of workers for long-term care homes in that province, while Quebec announced four months ago it would hire 10,000 workers..<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Ontario, the staffing crisis is worse,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is just beyond words.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fact one Ottawa long-term care home has a single PSW working with 30 residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 is \u201cjust unspeakable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is inadequate staffing, no intervention early enough . . . and residents are wandering in and out of the rooms\u201d of residents with COVID-19, she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this point, we would have expected to see immediate intervention, improved staffing,\u201d sufficient personal protective equipment for all staff, proper isolation and testing procedures in place, Mehra says, but that is not the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are calling on Ford to get his act together, get a plan in place and get staffing to safer levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really appalling,\u201d Dr. Amit Arya agrees.<\/p>\n
He says 95 per cent of staff in an OHC survey reported staff shortages across the province, and \u201cthe province has done nothing to date to address these staffing shortages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Worse, he says, is that many of the homes have had multiple complaints filed with the province over the years, but the province scaled back inspections after the Ford government took power.<\/p>\n
And while staff are working double shifts, privately owned long-term care homes have continued to pay out dividends to shareholders throughout the crisis, he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need the government to act now,\u201d Arya says, calling for increased surprise inspections of homes, with the results of those inspections being made public.<\/p>\n
Early in the pandemic, when military personnel were sent to a number of long-term care homes, they reported numerous shortcomings of the facilities.<\/p>\n
But the province, Arya says, didn\u2019t learn from that experience.<\/p>\n
At this time, 50 long-term care homes across the province are reporting outbreaks, Mehra noted, and \u201c40 or so\u201d retirement homes are in the same situation.<\/p>\n
But the province, she says, has still not come up with a plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to understand how we find ourselves where we are,\u201d Fraser said. \u201cWe are so unprepared\u201d for the growing second wave of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t learn from our mistakes at the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Temiskaming-Cochrane MPP John Vanthof admitted he \u201cjob shadowed\u201d a PSW last November, before the pandemic struck.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was impossible to do the work that needed to be done,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
He also said his wife, who works as a waitress, works with a number of former PSWs who left their positions because the money and the working conditions were better in a restaurant.<\/p>\n
More than 1,900 residents and staff in long-term care have died of COVID-19, but participants in the news conference said the province has only offered \u201cpiecemeal\u201d solutions and not a full plan to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n
Adding the needed staff, Jane Meadus of the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly said, is something that should have been done long ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey missed the boat by not getting people trained over the summer,\u201d she says, or even earlier when people were being laid off from their jobs or students were no longer able to attend classes.<\/p>\n
And while almost 2,000 people have died in long-term care homes, she says, the province continues to put many times more funding into hospitals than into long-term care.<\/p>\n
There are 626 long-term care homes in the province, so even a recently announced increase of 2,000 PSWs \u201cwill only mean three per home, and that\u2019s once they graduate,\u201d Fraser says.<\/p>\n
