Statement by Lisa Levin, CEO of AdvantAge Ontario, which represents more than 500 providers of long-term care, seniors’ housing, supportive housing and community service agencies:
"Today’s budget includes important investments aimed directly at the priority needs of long-term care homes, including staffing, resident care and getting more homes built and redeveloped to serve our aging population.
Long-term care is facing significant financial pressures. We are very pleased that government has recognized those needs and responded to them in this budget. This is good news for Ontario seniors.”
