LTCHA Implementation Resources
These materials were developed during the fall and winter
of 2010/11 to provide timely and practical resources and templates for long term
care homes in Ontario to assist them in implementing the requirements of the Long-Term
Care Homes Act, 2007 (LTCHA) and Regulation. These resources build upon or complement
the materials available on the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s ltchomes.net website as
well as those available through other organizations such as the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly (ACE) and the Ontario Health Quality Council (Residents First).
Funded in part
by the Government of Ontario. The views expressed in these materials are the views
of OANHSS and do not necessarily reflect those of the Province of Ontario.
