Ontario is expanding specialized dementia care in long-term care, with 13 homes joining the Improving Dementia Care Program in its second year.
Through the use of emotion-based models of care, the program helps improve quality of life for residents living with dementia while supporting their caregivers, families and staff.

October is Occupational Therapy Month.
Participation in everyday activities makes a meaningful difference to our quality of life.
In long-term care homes across Ontario, occupational therapists support residents with mobility and provide practical solutions to help them live safely and participate in the things that matter most.
This Occupational Therapy Month, we recognize the role OTs play in supporting resident-centred care, independence and dignity.

Ontario is strengthening long-term care in rural communities.
Construction is underway to redevelop Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque, bringing 104 modern long-term care beds to the community.
This redevelopment will help ensure rural Ontarians have better access to quality long-term care closer to home, while supporting families and building for the future.

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day.
In long-term care, we’re supporting people living with dementia through compassionate, person-centred care that promotes dignity, well-being and quality of life.
Ontario recently expanded the Community Access to Long-Term Care pilot program, which provides services – including dementia care – to people still living in their own homes.
This year’s theme, The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters, highlights the importance of early diagnosis and access to the right care and supports.
