Committee Recommendations
The Community Development and Recreation Committee recommends that:
1. City Council receive the report (March 24, 2015) from the General Manager, Long-Term Care Homes and Services, for information.
Origin
Summary
Six of City of Toronto's ten long-term care homes (1,569 of its 2,641 Ministry approved beds) need to be redeveloped or retrofitted over a 10-15 year period commencing in 2009. The provincial strategy makes it mandatory for designated homes to be in compliance with the updated long-term care home design standards. Kipling Acres Phase I (192 beds) opened in 2014; Phase II (145 beds) is currently under construction and expected to open in early 2016. A comprehensive Capital Renewal Plan for a staged approach to mandatory redevelopment of the remaining five long-term care homes will be presented to Committee and Council for approval in the third quarter of 2015.
On October 28, 2014, the Associate Minister of Health and Long-Term Care announced plans to introduce an Enhanced Long-Term Care Home Renewal Strategy (the Enhanced Strategy) in 2015 following a brief but intensive stakeholder consultation process, which included the City of Toronto. Details of the Enhanced Strategy were released by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) on February 27, 2015 with a framework on how the province will implement the Enhanced Strategy to modernize and improve long-term care homes to focus on resident outcomes, plan to meet the future needs for residents and the funding mechanisms to encourage long-term care home operators to accelerate redevelopment.
Some of the key enhancements include:
- Establishing a dedicated project office to oversee the Enhanced Renewal Strategy
- Revising and increasing the Construction Funding Subsidy
- Increasing preferred accommodation premiums for new homes
- Scheduling homes for redevelopment as opposed to a phased application process.
