Has the way you manage your budget and operations changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic? This roundtable brings together commercial members interested in hearing the perspective of service provider members. Key questions will be asked: 

  • Overview on what has changed in how LTC operators provide care.
  • Will there be continued restriction on staff working in multiple sites?
  • Will they need to continue to screen staff and visitors?  Questionnaire and temperature checks?  Will this be standard practice going forward?
  • What has changed in how they clean their facility?
  • Are there gaps or challenges in how they are being directed by ministry in how to clean and what they can currently accommodate with available cleaning supplies/technology? 
  • What is long term expectation on PPE requirements for staff and visitors?
  • What protocols are in place for commercial members to access homes - sales calls, training, repairs and maintenance?
  • Has there been increased funding provided to cover these costs?
  • Has there been directive to move toward more resident specific equipment (ie slings, shower/bathing equipment)?
  • Will the “new norm” create increased operating costs that will potentially impact capital spending? 
  • How has or do you anticipate funding to change for operational expenses and capital expenses?
  • Are there any planned changes to # residents per room ?  If so, how will this impact funding?
  • In general, what changes do they see as necessary to further improve safety for residents and staff in their facility?

Registration may be limited to one member of each organization to allow for a fulsome discussion.
