Abstract

The search for profit in the Ontario long-term care (LTC) home sector means that inspections and fines are unlikely to drive quality improvement. For-profit ownership, operations and contracts thwart accountability for quality and financial stewardship while blocking full public reporting, thus preventing public oversight. Laying out the problems presented by the for-profit LTC homes' financial and operations infrastructure with examples, this commentary presents policy paths forward to address the problem of profit and improve accountability.
