Recruiting and retaining PSWs\u00a0\u2014 who report important details about patients to other health care providers and assist with bathing, dressing and feeding clients \u2014 is a major issue not just in the South West LHIN, but across the province too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are competing with other parts of the health sector for the same scarce human resources but are at a disadvantage because PSWs and nurses in the hospital sector are paid more than they are in our sector,\u201d VON Canada vice-president of marketing and communications Beth Green said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do what we can to address the shortage, working with the colleges, associations and others to promote the impact of the personal support worker role and its importance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VON Middlesex-Elgin is one of the South West LHIN\u2019s contracted home care service providers.<\/p>\n<p>In October, the South West LHIN launched a new referral system to better handle high-needs patients and mitigate staffing shortages, South West LHIN interim vice-president of home and community care Daryl Nancekivell said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The policy prioritizes patients with complex care needs and ones being discharged from the hospital. For patients who are put on the wait list, the average wait time for PSW home care is 12 days and about five days for nursing services.<\/p>\n<p>The regional health-care organization is also working with educational institutions to promote careers in community health care and is investing in assisted living and supportive housing to address the ongoing home-care issue, Nancekivell said.<\/p>\n<p>Across Ontario in 2016-17, the latest year for which data are available, new clients in the community applying for in-home care by PSWs had a median wait time of 11 days until their first appointment.<\/p>\n<p>In its 2018 annual report, Health Quality Ontario\u00a0\u2014 the province\u2019s health-care watchdog \u2014 said nearly 667,000 people received publicly funded home care from the province in 2016-17. The total has grown by nearly 96,000 people since 2011-12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot more elderly people and that is only going to grow,\u201d VanderBent said.<\/p>\n<p>Provincial funding in the home-care sector and increased caseload and scheduling demands for individual PSWs are core reasons behind the labour shortage in the sector, VanderBent said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ontario Health Coalition executive director Natalie Mehra said home care and supporting PSWs are key parts of the system that can\u2019t be ignored.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen your physician orders home care for you because you require home care, that care should be available to you,\u201d she said. \u201cThis PSW crisis has made things much, much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/lfpress.com\/news\/local-news\/waits-for-home-care-could-get-worse-during-flu-season\">https:\/\/lfpress.com\/news\/local-news\/waits-for-home-care-could-get-worse-during-flu-season<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waits for home-care could get worse during flu season JENNIFER BIEMAN Updated: December 5, 2018 With dozens of Londoners waiting for home care and not enough personal support workers and nurses to meet the demand, there are fears the situation will only get worse as flu season gets underway.
