Why would a long-term care (LTC) home receive an Order from a Ministry Inspector or the Director?
Long-term care (LTC) homes are required to abide by provincial legislation, regulations, standards and policies to ensure residents receive the best possible care. The Ministry arranges regular inspections of every LTC home to verify that they are in compliance with the Ministry’s requirements. The Ministry may impose orders on a home in a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) recurring or ongoing non-compliance; and (ii) presence of severe problems that put residents at risk.
