The Ontario government recently announced that it will be investing $2.2 million this year for long-term care homes in Milton.

In total, Ontario is investing up to $673 million in long-term care which will increase staffing levels and help with more direct care for residents across the province.

This funding comes as part of Ontario’s commitment to ensure long-term care residents receive on average, four hours of direct care per day by 2024-25.

These funds will help to increase care for residents at Allendale Long-Term Care Home in Milton, which will receive up to $1,744,272 for additional staffing in order to increase hours of direct care.

“This funding will allow homes in Milton to hire and retain more staff so they can provide more care to residents, every day,” said MPP Parm Gill.

“This is part of our government’s plan to hire thousands of new staff over the next four years to ensure those living in long-term care get the high-quality care they need and deserve.”

Additionally, Milton is also receiving 608 new long-term care beds and will be home to Excelligent Care, Mill Pond Manor and Schlegel Villages.
