Concerns drop over long-term care; Issues remain with ministry website
By Susan Gamble
There's been a slight drop in the number of concerns found in Brantford and Brant County nursing homes but, for the second year in a row, Hardy Terrace tops the list of local homes with problems.
What The Expositor says, Page A13
Last year, an analysis of a website developed by the Ministry of Health showed that Hardy Terrace in Mount Pleasant, had 29 unmet standards at the facility. The provincial average was 3.54 unmet standards per home.
This year, the facility was almost as high with 24 unmet standards compared to the provincial average of 3.32.
All of those statistics are found on the ministry's public reporting website. But what isn't on the website is that Hardy Terrace is currently under "enhanced monitoring," a process that sees ministry staff frequently visiting the facility to ensure it's working toward complying with ministry standards.
