Abstract
Abstract:Les conséquences catastrophiques de la maladie à coronavirus de 2019 ont mis en lumière la nécessité de réformer complètement les politiques, la règlementation et le système de financement des soins de longue durée au Canada, y compris par le renforcement du volet philanthropique du système de soins. Cet article évalue les conséquences, pour les fournisseurs sans but lucratif, de l’évolution des politiques ontariennes relatives aux soins de longue durée. On y analyse les tendances des revenus et de la santé financière des établissements caritatifs de soins de longue durée entre 2004 et 2017. Bien que les revenus de ces établissements tendent à la stabilité, leur solidité financière s’est rigidifiée au fil du temps, soumise à leur dépendance croissante au financement gouvernemental et à l’amenuisement de la contribution philanthropique.Abstract:The disastrous effects of the 2019 pandemic have demonstrated the need for comprehensive reform of the policy, regulatory, and financing regimes of long-term care in Canada, including strengthening the non-profit component of the care system.
