They found almost 14,000 of the in-progress beds are going to non-profit and municipal homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">For-profit long-term care homes have had the worst track record during the pandemic, said Stewart during a virtual press release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">The Ontario Health Coalition report says the pandemic illuminated issues of systemic negligence in for-profit long-term care that had been growing for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">The province\u2019s overview on long-term care states that \u201cby law, long-term care homes must provide residents safe, consistent, high-quality, and resident-centred care,\u201d and that the Ministry of Health regulates and inspects all long-term care homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">The Canadian military outlined terrible conditions in five of the hardest-hit long-term care facilities where they were sent to help during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">For example, at one private long-term care facility in Etobicoke, the military report detailed that a catheter had been reused after it had been pulled out and laid on the floor for an indeterminate amount of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">Other findings at the same facility included inadequate dosing intervals of medications during palliative care and bad hygiene practices; the report stated the task force found nearly a dozen bleeding fungal infections on male residents\u2019 genitals because of improper cleaning during peri-catheterization care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">Last year, for-profit long-term care homes averaged 7.3 deaths per 100 registered beds during the pandemic, according to the Toronto Star. Non-profit homes averaged 3.8 deaths per 100 residents and municipal homes averaged 1.5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-block-container\">On the overview of the application for long-term care bed funding, the province states that new and upgraded beds will \u201chelp reduce wait-lists, ease hospital capacity pressures and ensure every resident can experience the best possible quality of life, supported by safe, high-quality care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\"
