In January 2025, the National Institute on Aging, distributed a Report entitled: “There’s No Place Like Home. Why Canada Must Prioritize Small Care Home Models in its Provision of Long-Term Care.”

In this Report it stated that “the Green House model has emerged as the most holistic manifestation of the culture change movement in the provision of LTC services, which best attempts to create smaller and more home-like living environments, along with improvements to staffing levels, training, support, and retention, in order to better enable the provision of resident-centred care.”

The CARP Advocacy Group on Long-Term Care calls on the Ontario government to transform existing 32-bed units in LTC homes into 16 bed units and when building new LTC homes, do so with 12-16 bed units. Those who live and work in LTC homes deserve to live in homes which look, feel, and are homes!
