"The wait list for a long-term care bed in Peel Region has ballooned by 40 percent from 2020, highlighting an urgent crisis in senior care availability."
"To meet current demand, Peel Region would need to build four times more long-term care facilities than it currently has, as the waiting list continues to grow."
"Currently, there are 2,700 seniors on the waiting list and all 700 existing beds are occupied, showing a dire need for more resources and infrastructure."
"Administrator Jessica Altenor expresses concern for seniors left waiting, stressing that the inability to provide care means a failure in the system, worrying about future ramifications."
