Ontario Doubles the number of Long-Term Care Inspectors

We’re keeping long-term care residents safe by delivering on our promise to double the number of long-term care inspectors across the province.

The government has hired 193 new long-term care inspection staff, including 156 new inspectors, these additional inspectors will help strengthen what is already Canada’s toughest inspection and enforcement regime.

By delivering on our commitment to double the number of inspectors in the field, Ontario now has the highest inspector-to-home ratio in the country, surpassing our goal of having one inspector for every two homes in the province.

This is one more way the government is fixing long-term care to ensure Ontario’s seniors get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve both now and in the future.
