Pioneer Manor in Sudbury is facing a shortage of PSWs, the home’s director says.\u00a0(Yvon Theriault\/CBC)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

The director of Pioneer Manor in Sudbury says the long-term care home is making progress in addressing a shortage of personal support workers (PSWs).<\/p>\n

Questions about staffing at the city-owned facility came up during a municipal committee meeting this week.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

A report last month from the Ontario Health Coalition found there was a shortage of personal support workers throughout the province.<\/p>\n

The report found most long-term care homes are short staffed on every shift, contributing to poor working conditions.<\/p>\n

Aaron Archibald, director of Pioneer Manor, said recruiting PSWs\u00a0is competitive, but the long-term care facility is always accepting applications.<\/p>\n

“We’re always actively looking for new PSWs,” Archibald said. “And we have an open application, right now it is open 365 days of the year. We’ve done a lot of work on streamlining our HR processes to be more responsive.<\/p>\n

The goal, Archibald said, is to make sure that workers who want to get involved in the field have the opportunity, despite the challenges facing the industry.<\/p>\n

“Specifically for us, right now, we have done everything possible to either improve morale or working short, because there is a vicious cycle when you are working short, that it does impact the staff,” he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Archibald added that the facility has made “significant headway” in that department, and staff have been travelling to job fairs in different parts of the province to promote the facility.<\/p>\n

“We have been active in every job fair,” Archibald said.<\/p>\n

“We’re actually partnering with [the department of] economic development. Several months ago, they sent a delegation down into the Toronto area as part of their mandate to look at getting resources up here.”<\/p>\n
