Long Term Care Facilities in Ontario: Long term care facilities are for patients seeking 24 hour care, they are sometimes called nursing homes. Provide safety and quality of life with endless nursing care and supervision. Long-term care facilities are operated through for-profit or nonprofit organizations. Long-term care facilities are generally classified by ownership: proprietary (for-profit), which means they are owned by an individual or corporation and operated for profit. Religious, meaning owned and operated by a religious organization, secular/charitable means owned and operated by a voluntary, non-governmental, non-religious entity. (non-profit). And others would be municipal, regional, provincial and federal. “Ontario has 17% for-profit facilities, 46% government-owned, 18% not-for-profit facilities and 19% religious long-term care facilities. This is a rate of 48.4% for non-profit homes with a rate of 51.6% for for-profit organizations” (Banerjee, An Overview of Long-Term Care in Canada and Selected Provinces and Territories) . Throughout this research paper, terms will be grouped together when looking at for-profit facilities and non-profit facilities in Ontario. This document is also intended to promote the need to maximize priorities in long-term care facilities as they do not have the necessary funds to fully realize the quality mission. “Removing the PR effect it is clear that even the for-profit association admits that cutting food and staff costs and charging higher rates is the practice of maximizing profit from the homes. Instead, municipalities are pouring funding into facilities' operating budgets to improve care. Nonprofit organizations raise funds to provide activities and services. They act… halfway through the paper… managers seemed to impact the building of staff-resident relationships: one was the lack of staff and, therefore, the lack of time that staff can spend with residents and the other was continuity of care. Increased government funding can increase staffing and training can be carried out more efficiently, thus increasing patients' quality of life." (Coughlan and Ward, 51). Conclusion: In conclusion, increased government funding for long-term care facilities is needed to convey maximum capacity to provide quality care to seniors and equal accessibility to homes and care. Ways that can produce this are by increasing staff funding for training and recruitment, as well as equipment to help increase care. Government funding should also help older people reduce the cost of living in nursing homes and enable equal accessibility to homes and home care.
