flag Ontario launches $9M pilot to boost emotional care in long-term homes for dementia patients.

flag Ontario is launching a $9-million, three-year pilot to introduce emotion-focused care in long-term care homes, aiming to improve well-being for residents, especially those with dementia, by prioritizing individualized, relationship-based support over rigid routines. flag The initiative, supporting up to 45 homes by 2027–28, includes funding for staff training and program development to create more homelike environments. flag While advocates highlight potential benefits for residents and staff, concerns remain that strict regulations may hinder innovation and staff adoption due to fear of inspection penalties. flag The pilot will assess how rules can be adapted to support person-centered care while gathering data to inform future policy.
