Our Public Long-Term Care System Has Never Been More Important

Our long-term care residents deserve a care system that puts their health, security and dignity ahead of for-profit interests. Saskatchewan needs more public long-term care spaces and more full-time staff to decrease staff workloads, burnout and improve quality of care for residents.

The proportion of Saskatchewan residents over 65 years old is growing rapidly, but the number of long-term care beds is dropping. The physical infrastructure of many public long-term care homes has been left to deteriorate while private for-profit personal care homes have expanded.

Since 2016, the Sask. Party government has reduced the amount of long-term care staff, leading to high rates of burnout, excessive workloads and putting quality care for our seniors at risk.

Now, in the face of this pandemic, our long-term care system finds itself at its most vulnerable.

Saskatchewan needs more public long-term care spaces, more full-time staff, and at least 4 hours/day of hands-on care for our seniors and residents.
