Some of the recommendations may actually be less than what currently exists or are certainly less than regulatory requirements that have existed in the past. The approach \u2013 a total rejection of provincial standards, compliance and enforcement regimes \u2013 is based on the assumption that homes will work in partnership with stakeholders to increase care levels on their own without actual requirement to do so. On an individual home level the absence of regulations leaves no enforcement mechanism whatsoever. The recommendations do not increase provincial government accountability for improving care. The numbers used in the report confuse the issues by changing the classifications of staff included in care measurements without any justification from the literature or in \u201cbest practices\u201d used in other jurisdictions. Many of the recommendations are extremely vague. The one positive is the recognition that care levels are inadequate and that staffing levels for PSWs and RNs be increased <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">up to <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3.5 hours (not average, no requirement, no enforcement).
