Ontario. Ministry of Health. Long-Term Care Division

• Long-Term Care Division

The Long-Term Care Division was established in 1992 following an initiative led by a joint division of the Ministries of Health and Community and Social Services, Population Health and Community Services, which encouraged community involvement in the development of an improved, consumer-centred approach to long-term care.

Fourteen area offices were established across the province to work with local organizations, Ministry of Community and Social Services area offices and District Health Councils in an effort to implement the redirection of long-term care. They were responsible for program coordination, financial management and service monitoring.

Over time, the Division was composed of various branches and services, including In-Home Services, Residential Services, Placement Coordination Services, and Program Standards, as well as its regional offices. In 1999, the internal structure of the Division changed to be comprised of two branches: Operations Support and Program Standards.

With government restructuring in 1999, the deliver of long-term care became regionalized, with the Operational Support Branch at the helm.

The Long-Term Care Division was responsible for managing the integration of health and social services programs in a decentralized structure aimed at elderly and people with physical disabilities.
