The Ontario government is connecting long-term care residents to the right care in the right place by investing nearly $10 million to help long-term care homes offer residents more in-home diagnostic and lab services instead of travelling to a hospital.
This work is part of Ontario’s Your Health Plan for Connected and Convenient Care to make it easier and more convenient for residents to connect to care, and reduce avoidable emergency department visits and hospital stays.
