Says moving hospital patients into LTC homes not of their choosing is a temporary measure; more long term care beds in the works

Sault MPP Ross Romano is calling the provincial government’s Bill 7 a step in the right direction for patients waiting for long term care beds.

“This is hurting our families and what’s going to end up happening is people are going to end up dying away from home, away from their families. That's the scary part about all of this,” Mantha said. As of September 21, Sault Area Hospital had 61 patients who are designated as ALC with 18 of those patients awaiting nursing home placement.

Romano pointed to the government’s announcement in March 2021 of 96 new beds for the Batchewana First Nation Long Term Care Home and, in April 2022, 192 new beds for the Missanabie Cree-Maskwa Elder’s Care Home.
