The suspension of admissions at a Peterborough long-term care home has drawn attention to systemic challenges within the sector, according to advocacy groups. Inspections by the Ministry of Long-Term Care revealed improper care, neglect, and staffing issues, pointing to underfunding and a shortage of personal support workers as major concerns. Both the Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils (OARC) and Concerned Friends emphasize the need for more proactive inspections and increased funding to address these systemic issues and ensure the well-being of long-term care residents.
