(February 11, 2020)<\/p>\n

By:\u00a0Tommy Vallier, Kingstonist<\/p>\n

The Kingston Health Coalition is raising the alarm alongside its provincial counterpart in asking the province to change funding levels, create minimum standards of care, and provide additional support in responding to violent and aggressive residents.<\/p>\n

The calls for change come as the Ontario Health Coalition is releasing a report entitled \u201cCaring in Crisis: Ontario\u2019s Long-Term Care PSW Shortage.\u201d The report, which was commissioned by Unifor, focused on the shortage of Personal Support Workers (PSW) in long-term care facilities, the increasing complexity of care required, and the impacts on care, working conditions and recruitment or retention of PSWs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorkers don\u2019t have enough time to care for those who are in their care,\u201d said John Goldthorp, a staff representative with the United Steelworkers union representing roughly 180 beds in the Kingston region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s heart- wrenching to go into these homes and see elders, sitting in soiled clothing or soiled diapers. They may sit there for hours on end before they get a caretaker to actually look after them\u201d he added, speaking to the shortage.<\/p>\n

The report was created by hosting over 350 participants in round-table discussions in eight Ontario cities. Though Kingston wasn\u2019t included in the discussions, the shortage of PSWs is happening province-wide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation in Kingston is critical. Staffing shortages are threatening the safety and care of residents, and harming staff, too\u201d said Matthew Gventer, who co-chairs the Kingston Health Coalition. \u201cAction needs to be taken by our Provincial government to solve this problem\u201d, he emphasized.<\/p>\n

While healthcare is funded provincially, the impacts of the PSW shortage are being felt in local facilities. Leslie Donald, whose husband had been a resident in a long-term care facility in Kingston for his final years, joined the Coalition at their event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn licensed daycares, there are minimum staffing levels to keep our kids safe and happy,\u201d Donald said, comparing the needs of residents with dementia to those of young children.<\/p>\n

\u201cI witnessed things that should never happen. I\u2019ve watched dedicated staff try to cope in unsafe, demoralizing conditions. I\u2019ve seen fear in the eyes of young PSWs, left alone to care for far too many residents,\u201d Donald said, adding that she\u2019s watched staff working while sick or working extended shifts when no other staff were available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need minimum staffing standards in long-term care,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n

Dawn Harris, chair of the Family Council Network agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents often do not get the care they need,\u201d Harris said. \u201cThere are just not enough PSWs. As a result, residents sometimes don\u2019t receive their baths on time, individual care is limited, and meal times are often rushed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris also spoke to the impact that less time with PSWs can have on the mental well-being and isolation of residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have no time to spend socializing with the residents. Many residents spend hours alone with very little socialization, especially on the weekends and in the evening,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Caring in Crisis\u2019 report ends by outlining a number of recommendations to the province, including a minimum standard of four hours of hands-on care per resident, per day.<\/p>\n

Resolving the shortage is going to take funding from the Provincial government, the group expressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not sit here and blame any PSW or any home, for they can only work with the funding they\u2019re at,\u201d said Dean McLaren, who is a union representative with the United Food and Commercial Workers union. McLaren explained that PSWs, registered practical nurses, and registered nurses are all funded from the same budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time [a facility] is short-staffed and has to pay overtime it cuts into the budget,\u201d McLaren said, \u201cBut you have to have those people on the floor for care and you\u2019re not allowed to combine budgets from other departments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Contributing to the situation, the report notes, is a declining enrollment in PSW programs, including that \u201cseveral communities college courses have been cancelled due to lack of enrollment\u201d and that managers across the province talk about job postings with no applicants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no recruitment at the [colleges] to get people from high schools,\u201d commented McLaren, who added that incoming students need to be made aware of the state of the industry before starting to help prevent attrition after a short while working in the field.<\/p>\n

To aid that, the report is asking for lower tuition, more grants, and education subsidies, as well as a public education campaign about the importance of the profession to attract and retain more PSW students.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that there are going to be 16,000 new beds in Ontario. That\u2019s fantastic, but we don\u2019t have the people to look after the people who are in the ones we have now. Without the workers, [more beds] isn\u2019t going to be any kind of a bonus to the health care system,\u201d McLaren added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be on everybody\u2019s radar,\u201d Donald said. \u201cWe are all going to be affected by this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis issue is a priority,\u201d said Gventer, who is encouraging people to \u201cemail, contact or write a letter to the government,\u201d hoping that doing so will add enough pressure to resolve the shortage.<\/p>\n
