The proposed pilot project by Ontario is aimed at addressing the flawed admission process to cultural long-term care homes, which has led to mismatched placements.
Advocates highlight that under the current priority rules, seniors are often placed in cultural homes not aligned with their background, undermining the essence of such facilities.
With over 6,000 individuals currently on the crisis waitlist, the new amendment seeks to prioritize cultural admissions, responding to community needs and preferences.
The previous long-term care minister recognized the issue of improper placements in cultural homes and was actively seeking solutions, a commitment reiterated by the current minister.
