Ontario. Long-Term Care Homes Branch

• Long-Term Care Homes Branch

• Ontario. Long-Term Care Facilities Branch (2002-2004)

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.

The Long-Term Care Homes Branch was responsible for financing and oversight of Ontario's network of largely private long term care homes registered by the province. These facilities include nursing homes, municipal homes for the aged, and charitable homes for the aged.

The Branch was responsible for funding the operations of homes; developing policies, program guidelines, and standards of care; and ensuring compliance with legislation, regulations, and Ministry policies, procedures and standards. The Branch licensed homes which met the requirements of the Nursing Homes Act, and processed pre-sale applications and licenses. The Branch also conducted the annual Levels of Care Classification of long term care residents in all licensed long term care homes in the province.
