History
The Long-Term Care Homes Branch was created under the name Long-Term Care Facilities Branch in 2002 in the course of a Ministry re-organisation; the Branch was part of the Community Health Division. The Branch was formed by a split of the Operations Support Branch (which continued, with reduced responsibilities).
The Branch continued unchanged until a significant re-organisation of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care in 2007. At that time, the Branch's policy development responsibilities were incorporated into the Long-Term Care and Community Care Unit of the Health Program Policy and Standards Branch in the Health System Strategy Division. Responsibility for funding and oversight of long-term care providers was transferred to the new Local Health Integration Networks, which began full operations in April 2007.
