@KimberlyN

30 years!!!
I'll bet the lawyers made sure the contracts are without loopholes.

What I found interesting and extremely annoying, predatory, is retirement home and LTCs management teams will do their best to figure out a person's income. and raise rents accordingly.

For example every senior receives a government benefit, so when it's increased rents are increased accordingly.

Net result? As inflation increases, the senior's buying power DEcreases. If they are living on government benefits eventually they can't afford to buy new clothing or shoes, replace mattresses or bedding, buy incontinence supplies, and so on.
Imagine not being able to buy a comfortable mattress, or new shoes. It happens. I've seen it.

edit:

Here's the fee schedule from the Ontario government

Note: In order to receive a subsidy, for example if one is on ODSP, the government takes away nearly all of your income and leaves the resident with last I heard it was $78.00 a month--that's for soap, shampoo, toilet paper, deodorant, shaving supplies, clothing, shoes, phone and cable, hair cuts, and recreation like books and crafts.

How can co-ordination improve long-term care delivery?

It's been a month since I applied for a license to carry to the Boston Police Department. I haven't heard anything back, so I called to check in on the status.
They said they're still processing applications from last July! There are thousands of applications ahead of mine in the queue.
Apparently a lot of people in very blue Boston got the same idea I did after watching Trump do his thing.
I'm glad people are taking things that seriously.

In our new paper we were synthesised primary research into the experiences of adolescents concerning their #diabetes #SelfManagement after participating in a diabetes education program
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/26350106261422691

- We only found papers relating to T1DM (and only n=4)

- Experiences split into (i) general experience of self management, and (ii) barriers/facilitators in their environment

- All studies were conducted in Western/ #HIC countries

We had our QUASAR #research group meeting at the @nursing today. We had great discussions around r package development on nurse staffing, an international study on triage in the ED, surveying pre-implementation perceptions on medical indicators in #LTC and a sustainable dementia care model in LTC. Niklaus Labhardt was our special guest presenting their fascinating work on reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases in rural Lesotho.

A lot to exchange, a lot to gain and a lot of fun! 🥳

Summarising literature from 25yrs, the paper shows that most studies investigating cost in global #NCD research emphasise tangible costs (direct & indirect expenses), while largely neglecting intangible costs:

B.C. Health Minister Josie Osborne says the government will go ahead with the decision to end pandemic pay supplements for long-term care providers despite warnings it will mean fewer beds and longer waiting lists.

Here is the most recent Ontario COVID-19 institutional outbreak data for the 7 days starting Sunday August 31 2025 and ending Saturday September 6 2025.

During surveillance week 36 in 2025, there were approximately 23 institutional COVID-19 outbreaks in Ontario.

The shaded area notes that this account's current data is being used to fill the gap from the data provided by Public Health Ontario. You can expect the current outbreak numbers to be revised up as not all PHUs report outbreaks, some outbreaks originally classified as "unspecified" are determined to be COVID-19, or outbreaks are reported late.
