Wait lists for long-term care number 34,000 and families are suffering, sometimes for years, without support. While every day tremendous compassion is demonstrated in long-term care homes across our province, there are persistent and pervasive problems, including: systemic inadequacy of care levels; homes working short-staffed; insufficient training and support to provide care for those with behavioural issues, and; shocking levels of fatal violence.<\/p>\n<p>Care relationships in long-term care are central to treating long-term care residents, staff and families with dignity and respect. This means understanding that the conditions of work in long-term care homes are also the conditions of care. It means recognizing that Ontario\u2019s overburdened long-term care system is not meeting the current needs of residents, their families, and staff and needs to be properly resourced and organized to do so. Accessible long-term care solutions are urgently needed, as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Improving care means adequate staff and an appropriate staff mix, providing enough time to care for and support residents, providing a stable work environment that encourages staff retention and care relationships, providing the training and education support needed to meet the needs of the increasing complexity of long-term care residents, and providing specialized behavioural supports in long-term care homes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Daily hands-on care staffing levels should be set at an average of at least 4 hours of care per resident per day to promote health and protect from harm. This staffing standard should apply to direct daily hands-on care hours provided by RN, RPN and PSW\/Aides and should not include Administrators, Directors of Care, Nurse Practitioners and others, and it must be measurable and enforceable.<\/em><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Ontario\u2019s long-term care homes have the longest wait-lists in the country, high levels of occupancy, and increasing levels of acuity or complexity among residents. Wait lists now number more than 34,000. Ontario\u2019s current plan to build 30,000 long-term care spaces over the next 10 years, including 5,000 in the next 4 years, is inadequate and leaves tens of thousands of people without the care they need. The evidence shows that non-profit and public long-term care homes provide higher staffing levels, better resident care outcomes, and are preferred by Ontarians.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Ontario\u2019s government must plan to build capacity to meet the need for long-term care beds now, not a decade down the road, and this capacity should be built in public and non-profit homes that are operated for the public good.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We, the undersigned, are joining together to sign onto this call for improved levels of care and access to care in Ontario\u2019s long-term care homes as vital and urgent requirements to address the needs of current residents and those who are waiting for long-term care.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Drafted in conjunction with the OHC by University of Toronto Health Policy Students\u00a0Jinyu Jing, Charlotte Pape, Maleeha Shams, Chuqiao Yan \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Signatories:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Alliance of Seniors To Protect Canada&#8217;s Social Programs\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Canadian Health Coalition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE) Local 468<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Cassellholme Family Council<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Chatham-Kent Health Coalition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Citizens for an Accountable Mega-hospital Planning Process (CAMPP)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Community Elder Abuse Prevention Committee, Thunder Bay<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Concerned Citizens of North Simcoe for Fair LHIN Funding<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Congress of Union Retirees &#8211; Thunder Bay Chapter<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Council of Canadians, Peel Chapter (Brampton, Caledon, Mississauga)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Council of Canadians,Windsor Essex Chapter<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Canadian Union of Public Employees Ontario<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 CUPE Locals 79, 87, 870, 1975, 6364<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Les enseignantes et enseignants retraites de L&#8217;Ontario\/The Retired Teachers of Ontario District 44<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Family Council Network 4 Advocacy, Advocacy Committee<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Federated Womens Institute of Ontario<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Grand River Valley Health Care Workers Union, CLAC 305<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Guelph\/ Wellington Coalition for Social Justice<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Kingston Faith and Justice Coalition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Kingston Health Coalition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville Chapter of the Congress of Union Retirees of Canada (HBO CURC)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health Care and Service Workers Union, CLAC 304<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 636<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">J.
