Ontario proposes to allow nurse practitioners to oversee LTC medical care.

The bill would also require homes to have a dementia care program and create new offences for the abuse and neglect of residents.

The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario had pushed for the change.

The move applauded by nurses and the homes but not supported by doctors.

Ontario Long-Term Care Association CEO Donna Duncan praised the emotion-focused care pilot.

She said the funding to help seniors in the community get some long-term care services will help keep them in their homes longer.

Duncan : "This kind of model basically embraces that and works with it, and it’s incredibly transformational".
