Ontario has levied a pair of $1,100 fines against two long-term care homes for not providing air conditioning in resident rooms.
by June 22 of this year.Long-Term Care Minister Paul Calandra said in a statement that another 24 homes are expected to be compliant by Sept. 22, but that these two homes were fined because they were not working with the ministry to achieve full air conditioning.
The government says Vision Nursing Home in Sarnia, Ont., has refused to install air conditioning and has no plans in place to do so, while McCormick Home in London, Ont., is debating the definition of air conditioning and is not publicly reporting room temperatures.The ministry says nearly every outstanding home has purchased air conditioning equipment and provided the ministry with receipts.
More than 300 air conditioning units had been held since July at the Port Authority of Montreal and were well back in queue, but Calandra spoke to federal Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra about them and the units were released on Aug. 5, the government said. The two homes that have been fined have now been ordered to be in compliance by Sept. 16 or face another fine. The ministry could also direct a home to stop admissions, suspend a licence and take over a long-term care home, or revoke the licence and have an interim manager operate the home.
