The long-term care minister recently told an NDP MPP trying to create a 'right to live together' that her proposal would 'reduce the level of care'

Its plan to free up spots for 2,500 more patients in the province's struggling hospital system banked largely on the addition of 1,300 long-term care home beds within six months. The 17-page file, titled "Health System Recovery and Stability," from Aug. 2, 2022 laid out many of the ministries' planned actions over the next few months.
The act, which is the Ford government's 2021 rewrite of the sector-guiding law, changed little from the Long-Term Care Homes Act that it replaced when it comes to how spouses who are separated in the long-term care system reunite with each other. Sections of the new act's regulations affecting spousal reunification are nearly word-for-word the same as the old law's, and the topic wasn't mentioned in the government's news release from when it was introduced.
Fife's letter also advocated to Calandra for the Standing Committee on Social Policy to start its study of Bill 21, her Fixing Long-Term Care Amendment Act , which would change the 2021 law to include that "every resident" admitted to an LTC home "has the right upon admission not to be separated from their spouse and to have appropriate accommodation made available for both spouses to live together in the home.
