Regulations For Long-Term Care

The Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021 and its general regulation 246/22 came into force on April 11, 2022. This will repeal and replace the existing Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007, and revoke Ontario Regulation 79/10.

The new legislation was designed to maintain the sections that previously worked well and to implement changes that advance three core priorities:

  1. Improving staffing and care;
  2. Protecting residents through better accountability, enforcement, and transparency; and
  3. Building modern, safe and comfortable long-term care homes for Ontario’s seniors.
Regulations - Long-Term Care

With this new framework in place, the Government is laying the groundwork for systemic, long- lasting reform over time that will enhance resident quality of care and life in several key areas, including:

Resident Rights

Hours of Care

Resident Safety & Wellbeing

Caregivers

Quality

Development & Redevelopment

Emergency Planning

Medical Directors

Accountability

Palliative Care

I’ve never seen a better place to have a loved one retire or be taken care of. The staff are amazing xo

We moved my in-laws into The Wellington Retirement home just over a month ago. I cannot say how impressed we are with the staff, the personalized service, and the management of the home. It has a homey feeling, is extremely clean, and has a great reputation in the community. We visited many big, brand new retirement homes in the area but The Wellington is the best in our opinion. All the residents are well taken care of and they all consider the community their home.

My mother received excellent care while a resident at The Wellington. The Wellington has caring and highly qualified nursing and personal support staff, as well as a fabulous Residents, Support Services Unit that works very hard to provide residents with interesting, fun, and entertaining activities on a daily basis. All staff has done an amazing job keeping the residents safe and entertained during the present COVIFD -19 outbreak.

I have stayed as a guest at The Wellington on two occasions.  If I could give them more than five stars I would.  I have made a lot of friends here. The activities are really interesting and challenging and the staff is more than considerate.  My medical needs were managed discreetly, efficiently, and with consideration.  I hope to make this my home someday.

I could not ask for a more caring and dedicated group of people.  The Wellington has proven to be a wonderful place. During the Pandemic..they protected Residents like they were their own Loved Ones…keeping their Spirits up with music dance and “Wacky Hair Days and posted regularly on Facebook. During the time when we were unable to visit..the staff made regular Skype calls for the Residents. The Wellington turned out to be the Best place for my Mother..she laughs and talks about staff like they are Family..if I could..I would give it more stars. Keep up the Great Work, you guys are the Best.

This has got to be the most difficult and worrisome time for families of loved ones at the Wellington. But let me try and put your fears at rest. A little over a month ago I took a part-time maintenance position at the residence. In that short time, I can without reservation honestly say that the staff at the Wellington go that extra mile to care for your loved ones. You can sleep at ease in these difficult days knowing your loved ones are well cared for and I believe after we get through this you can thank them personally. Stay strong.
