The expansion of Ontario’s construction funding subsidy is amazing news for Ontario’s not-for-profit long-term care homes. By providing those homes with greater upfront financing, this measure could lead to thousands more not-for-profit beds. This is in-line with the preferences of Ontarians, more than two-thirds of whom choose not-for-profit care as their first choice in care. AdvantAge Ontario, which has long advocated for these changes, commends government for recognizing the unique circumstances of Ontario’s not-for-profit, municipal and charitable homes.
