The funding cuts, Watson said, will have a significant impact on Ottawa\u2019s municipal long-term care homes: Carleton Lodge, Centre d\u2019accueil Champlain, Garry J. Armstrong Home and the Peter D. Clark Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The province told municipalities the changes were being made to maximize administrative savings, modernize services and eliminate duplication.<\/p>\n<p>The two programs being eliminated were initially designed to help older long-term care homes cope with higher staff wages and structural issues, but Watson said the money had been required to directly fund operations in the homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, eliminating these two funding streams will have a serious impact on the direct care and services provided to residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The province, which has committed to ending hallway medicine, says it has committed to 15,000 new long-term care spaces over the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>Watson says new beds can\u2019t be created \u201cat the risk of decreasing current levels of services in existing homes, including services for the 717 residents who depend on the City of Ottawa homes for their care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ottawa is not the only municipality concerned about the end of two funding programs that helped support municipal long-term care homes. Watson wants the province to either reverse the program cuts or add the funding to per diem amounts that allow long-term care homes to operate.<\/p>\n<p>The Ontario Health Coalition says municipalities will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding with the cuts, adding more pressure to an already stressed system.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition, says city-run long-term care homes across the province are facing deficits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the homes are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year because of this, this is really significant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mehra noted that municipalities were already facing increased costs because of provincial cuts to paramedic and public health services. Cuts to long-term care represent another financial burden, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra said the program cuts came on top of budgets that were not keeping up with inflation and growing staff shortages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong-term care funding is not adequate to meet existing needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staffing shortages contribute to high levels of violence in long-term care homes, Mehra said, because staff is unable to deal with residents with increasingly acute needs, including behaviour issues and dementia.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Cotter, spokesperson for Fullerton, said in a statement that funding models developed 10 years ago \u201caren\u2019t adequately meeting the changing needs of Ontario\u2019s long-term care homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our government invests $72 million more this year in long-term care homes, we are working with our partners in the sector to help ensure that they can realize the maximum value of this funding. That means cutting red tape where responsible and offering homes more flexibility to allocate their funding to priority areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The changes, he said, will help long-term care homes be \u201cmore responsive\u201d to their residents\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<p>Joel Harden, MPP for Ottawa Centre and the NDP critic for Accessibility, Persons with Disabilities and Seniors\u2019 Affairs, said the province\u2019s long-term care homes were \u201calready understaffed and under-resourced, leaving residents waiting for help even with the basics, like getting to the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoug Ford\u2019s cuts will force residents to wait longer and make do with less care and attention, and the frontline workers already run off their feet will be expected to do more with even less,\u201d Harden added. \u201cThe NDP has been fighting for a find-and-fix inquiry that will get at the root causes of problems in care homes \u2014 including neglect and violence. We believe the solution should include a new care standard where residents can be offered at least four hours of hands-on care and attention per day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ottawacitizen.com\/news\/local-news\/provincial-funding-cuts-will-affect-services-at-citys-long-term-care-homes-mayor-says\">Read Full Article Here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELIZABETH PAYNE\u00a0Updated: July 22, 2019 Garry J Armstrong long term care on Island Lodge Road in Ottawa.
