Champlain Region Family Council Network

Good to see more funding for one of the Champlain Region LTC homes. Non-profits have to work very hard to raise funds for expansion. cornwallseawaynews.com/local/north-gl… via @SeawayNews

Wouldn't it be great if @ONgov started to look at alternatives to large LTC institutions. @NatKusendova @fordnation The Time for Small Care Homes Is Now longwoods.com/content/27150/…

@JoAnneBeggsRSW @NatKusendova This needs immediate action!

Families also want to see staffing issues resolved - residents suffer. Wage parity will reduce attrition. @NatKusendova @fordnation @sylviajones

We are proud to have collaborated with @ForgetForMoment to bring beautiful planter boxes to local #LTC homes. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/peller… via @ottawacitizen

@OLTCAnews reports that "By 2029, Ontario #LTC homes will require at least 58,600 more nurses and personal support workers alone. What's the plan @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation? Has to be part of a provincial Human Health Resources strategy

Planter boxes generously donated by the Forget For a Moment Foundation will bring smiles to the faces of residents, staff and caregivers in 21 #LTC homes in our region. forgetforamoment.org/projects/our-n…

@NightShiftMD Fingers crossed!!

Doug Ford appoints Jane Philpott to lead Ontario’s new primary care action team - The Globe and Mail. This looks like a big deal. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

We need urgent action. Health care funding should be on addressing recruitment and retention issues and ensuring the best possible health outcomes for patients and LTC residents. readthemaple.com/for-profit-nur… Where is the plan? @SylviaJonesMPP

It's important that we hear about these culture change initiatives that have such a positive impact on residents' quality of life. changeltcnow.ca/2024/10/09/web…

Glad to see this investment in Ottawa #LTC homes. @NatKusendova Ontario Expanding Diagnostic Services in Ottawa Long-Term Care Homes news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

Congrats to the City of Ottawa for expanding person-centred care in their municipal homes. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Fingers crossed that the advocacy groups will be successful in their challenge. Bill 7 is cruel and takes away the rights of frail seniors and their families waiting for LTC in hospital.

Ontario’s controversial nursing home transfer law is being challenged in court. Advocacy groups argue that law violates the Charter rights of hospital patients, by @maria9860 thestar.com/news/ontario/o… via @TorontoStar @NeglectedNo

Always so impressed with the work of the Ontario Association of Residents Councils. They just released their annual report: flipsnack.com/6D57DF5569B/oa…

@AdvantAgeOnt @ONlongtermcare While we are grateful for funding for more care, 36 minutes of allied health professionals is still inadequate and 4 hours of care is based on a 2001 report!

Our Funding and Reporting Webinar kicked off today! Mark Schroter from @ONlongtermcare covered the Funding Envelopes. You can still register for parts 2 and 3 and access the recording of today’s session. For registration details, please contact education@advantageontario.ca

@NatKusendova Happy to see that you visited several of our local LTC homes during your visit to Ottawa.

Hier, j'ai visité le foyer de soins de longue durée Centre d'Accueil Champlain à Ottawa. Ce foyer offre des soins spécialisés à chaque résident et répond fièrement aux besoins de la population francophone d’Ottawa. Merci au personnel amical pour cette merveilleuse visite! Yesterday, I visited Centre d'Accueil Champlain long-term care home in Ottawa. This home provides specialized care for each resident and proudly serves the needs of Ottawa’s francophone population. Thank you to the friendly staff for the wonderful tour!

We can provide #PrimaryCare to every Ontarian for the price of two hospitals. To reform primary care, immediate investment and policy action are needed from our provincial political leaders, by @docdanielle @janephilpott @ddsv3 ottawacitizen.com/opinion/martin… via @OttawaCitizen

Earlier this year a piece of land in Ottawa set aside for non-profit health care was dealt to a for-profit, long-term care provider by the @fordnation government. With the Ford government, private profits always trump the public good. #onpoli #onhealth nursestalktruth.ca
