Ford government is trialling changes to a controversial long-term care law that allowed the province to place people into homes they hadn’t chosen.

The law, Bill 7 , was introduced in 2022 to speed up wait lists and free up hospital beds.

The change in who was being moved into cultural long term care homes came because the province was using powers under Bill 7 to move people out of hospital beds and into the next available home.

Now, the government is rolling out a pilot designed to ensure cultural care homes are matched with residents they were designed to support.
