Moving to allay fears that transfers could be made to nursing homes not on a patient’s preferred list of choices — and possibly away from their loved ones — Long-Term Care Minister Paul Calandra said no one will be forced to relocate.

Ontario won’t move hospital patients on waiting lists for nursing home beds into other long-term care facilities against their wishes, says Long-Term Care Minister Paul Calandra.

Premier Doug Ford’s government is hoping to free up an additional 2,500 hospital beds in the event of a winter surge of flu and COVID-19 assuch as temporary emergency room closures caused by staffing shortages brought on by the pandemic. Dr. Adil Shamji, a former emergency room physician who was elected the Liberal MPP for Don Valley East in the June 2 provincial election, said the legislation comes with almost one-third of Ontario’s 626 nursing homes experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks in residents and staff.
