Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition, describes the More Beds Better Care Act as “fundamentally discriminatory” against the frail and elderly.
Mehra says there is currently no way to appeal if patients are forced somewhere they don’t want to go.She says details of the planned legal fight will be revealed at a joint press conference Monday co-hosted by the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly. The rules apply to hospital patients deemed by doctors to need an "alternate level of care" who have been placed on a wait-list to get into a long-term care home. The province said there are about 1,800 such patients across the province.She says Bill 7 allows hospitals or discharge planners to override patient consent to secure a bed as far as 70 kilometres away in southern Ontario and 150 kilometres away in northern regions.
“We've looked through the waitlist all across Ontario to see which long-term care homes have the lowest waitlist and those will be the places. They include the homes that the military went into during the pandemic and found just horrific conditions."

We were given 24 hrs to have my mother moved to LTC, the only available places were horrific. She was moved to a hell hole and it took a year before a preferred one opened up. Banish private LTC.

Transgender rights advocates urge governments to move beyond supportive wordsOTTAWA — As Transgender Awareness week draws to a close, some advocates say they are filled with a mixture of hope and fatigue after seeing politicians making… No Gender affirming care has not been proven to be helpful to youth with gender dysphoria. Many countries are moving away from medicalization, with good cause. Canada is definitely not at the forefront of good care, if this is what they are proposing. No. I live in the real world, not a fantasy world.
