The Ontario Nurses’ Association is calling for more funding and a minimum of four hours of care per day for residents of provincial long-term care facilities.
The ONA says that should include 48 minutes of registered nurse care.
ONA first vice-president Vicki McKenna says it’s vital that long-term care funding is provided in order to ensure that residents receive the quality of care they deserve.
McKenna says what she calls inadequate long-term care staffing is hurting residents and exposing nurses to increased violence.
