AdvantAge Ontario is announcing three pilot sites for Nursing Home Without Walls (NHWW), an innovative model that brings services to older adults living in the community through the expertise and coordination of long-term care home and existing community service providers. - [Ontario Budget 2026 Statement from CEO Lisa Levin](https://www.advantageontario.ca/ontario-budget-2026-statement-from-ceo-lisa-levin/) - Statement by Lisa Levin, CEO of AdvantAge Ontario: "We are pleased to see meaningful investments in supports that help older adults earlier in their care journey and ease pressure on long-term care and hospitals. This reflects what we and our members have been calling for, and we’re encouraged to see government responding to these priorities. At the same time, we welcome the continued focus on supporting Ontario’s long-term care system. Today’s budget reflects progress. We recognize the efforts being made in a challenging fiscal environment. We look forward to working with government to build on these measures to ensure seniors can access the right care, in the right place, at the right time." - [Invest Upstream to Change Seniors Care: AdvantAge Ontario](https://www.advantageontario.ca/invest-upstream-to-change-seniors-care-advantage-ontario/) - AdvantAge Ontario is urging the Ontario government to make its 2026-27 Budget a turning point for seniors’ care by prioritizing upstream investments in supportive housing, home care and community supports so fewer older adults end up in emergency departments, hospital beds or long-term care homes before they truly need to. - [Levin: Seniors' housing should be a huge election issue](https://www.advantageontario.ca/levin-seniors-housing-should-be-a-huge-election-issue/) - All this tariff talk mustn't 'Trump' discussion of other serious problems as Ontario voters go to the polls next week.

Not-for-profit homes are not developers, nor do they have the same access to capital as for-profit corporations. The capital funding announced in the budget will be a game changer that will allow many new not-for-profit long-term care homes to be built. It will also prevent some older homes from closing that require renovations to meet new design standards. This is great news for Ontarians, who overwhelmingly choose not-for-profit long-term care." - [Community health sector launches campaign profiling staffing challenges and impact to patient care](https://www.advantageontario.ca/community-health-sector-launches-campaign-profiling-staffing-challenges-and-impact-to-patient-care/) - Sector calls for investments to close the growing wage gap for frontline workers Toronto, October 17, 2024 – Ten provincial associations representing Ontario’s community health sector are raising awareness of a growing wage gap impacting the care millions of Ontarians rely on.
