DEMAND DOUG FORD PUT CARE BEFORE PROFITS.
The failed experiment of for-profit long-term care must come to an end:
- For-profit facilities have 17% fewer staff than non-profit homes with more transfers to hospitals and more bed ulcers
- Worst hit homes are all run by big for-profit operators
- Big nursing home corporations paid out over $58 million in dividends to shareholders in just the last 3 months
Better long-term care means
- Providing caregivers a full-time job with benefits like paid sick leave
- Mandating high staff-to-resident ratios for quality elder care
- Standardized living-wages to attract and retain good nurses and personal support workers
Add your name to this letter and tell Doug Ford’s government to put care before profits
