安大略省政府在多伦多建造新的长期护理院,对新项目的持续投资,将为该省带来急需的床位
安大略省政府在多伦多的北约克综合医院新建一个拥有384张床位的长期护理院。这是安大略省政府64亿美元承诺的一部份,即到2028年在全省范围内建造3万多张新床位和2.8万张升级版的长期护理床位。
“我们的政府有一个解决长期护理问题的计划,该计划的一个关键部分是为我们的老年人建造现代、安全和舒适的家园。
长期护理部长保罗-卡兰德拉(Paul Calandra)说:”我们的政府有一个解决长期护理的计划,该计划的关键部分是为我们的老年人建造现代化的、安全和舒适的家园。
“当这个位于多伦多的养老院建成后,384名居民将有一个新的地方可以称之为家,靠近他们的家人和朋友。
北约克综合医院提议在医院的土地上建立一个最先进的长期护理院。它将成为护理园区的一部分,将护理院纳入更广泛的医疗保健系统,并帮助确保居民获得他们需要的护理。该护理院还建议提供专门的行为支持和疗养服务。
这家拥有384张床位的全新养老院包括分配给192张新床位和160张升级床位,这些床位目前位于医院老年人健康中心内的长期护理院。另外32张升级床位将来自养老院目前的位置,由医院出资。每张新床意味着更多的人可以在他们所爱的人身边接受他们所需要的护理。每张重建的床位意味着已经接受护理的人将能够搬进一个全新的家。
施工预计将于2024年春季开始,并在2026年夏季完成。该养老院将被授权给北约克综合医院并由其运营。这个项目是安大略省已在进行的许多非营利性项目之一。目前,安大略省共有126个非营利性项目,包括市政养老院,正在开发或建设中。在这些项目中,有23个位于多伦多。
政府有一个计划来解决长期护理问题,并确保安大略省的老年人得到他们需要的高质量的护理和生活质量。他们现在和将来都需要和应该得到。该计划建立在三个支柱之上:人员配备和护理;问责制、执法和透明度;以及为老年人建造现代化、安全、舒适的房屋。
“我们感谢安大略省政府对老年人健康的前瞻性投资。NYGH新的、领先的长期护理院将是多伦多最大的长期护理院,其设计是基于COVID-19危机中吸取的教训。我们的目标是创造一个我们任何一个人都希望自己的父母和亲人在需要这种水平的支持时居住的环境。
北约克综合医院理事会主席伯特-克拉克(Bert Clark)
“保障老年人的健康和福祉是我和我所在的当河谷北地区人民的首要任务。有一个全新的384张床位的长期护理院位于NY GH的地产上,将提高许多老年人的医疗保健质量。北约克综合医院已经赢得了社区的信任,这个好消息值得庆祝。”

“建造一个拥有384张床位的长期护理院,对整个北约克地区,特别是对我所在的Don Valley North当河谷北选区来说是个好消息。随着迁入北约克的人数增加和人口老龄化,现在比以往任何时候都更需要对长期护理床位进行投资。这些新的床位将意味着更多的人可以继续住在北约克,他们称之为家的地方。”

The brand new 384-bed home includes an allocation for 192 new beds and 160 upgraded beds which are currently located in a long-term care home within the hospital’s Seniors’ Health Centre.An additional 32 upgraded beds will come from the home’s current location and are being funded by the hospital. Each new bed means more people can receive the care they need near their loved ones. Each redeveloped bed means that those already receiving care will be able to move into a brand-new home.
Construction is expected to start in spring 2024 and be completed in summer 2026. The home will
be licensed to and operated by North York General Hospital. This project is one of the many not-for-profit projects already underway in Ontario. In total, there are now 126 not-for-profit projects, including municipal homes, in development or under construction in Ontario. Of these projects, 23 are located in Toronto.

care and quality of life they need and deserve both now and in the future. The plan is built on three pillars: staffing and care; accountability, enforcement, and transparency; and building modern, safe, comfortable homes for seniors.
