The Saskatchewan Authorities and Common Workers’ Union is asking on the Premier to reply questions in regards to the state of for-profit care properties in Saskatchewan. The union says {that a} B.C. report from the seniors advocate discovered that BC’s for-profit long-term care properties did not ship over 200,000 hours of publicly funded care in 2017-18, whereas producing big earnings. The union says for-profit care properties there spent a mean of $10,000 much less on direct care per affected person than the not-for-profit sector; and, that not-for-profit long-term care amenities vastly outpaced their for-profit counterparts by offering 80,000 extra hours of direct care than they had been funded to ship.
SGEU says it will be naïve to imagine that Saskatchewan isn’t going through comparable issues with our for-profit long-term care business.
Particularly, SGEU desires to know:
What number of hours of care are being delivered to residents in for-profit long-term care amenities throughout Saskatchewan? What number of hours are being delivered in public amenities?
How has the supply of care hours modified for the reason that Sask. Get together authorities eradicated minimal requirements of care in 2011?
And, how a lot is being spent, per resident, on direct care in for-profit long-term care amenities? In public amenities?
On February twelfth, SGEU wrote to Minister for Seniors Everett Hindley and Minister for Well being Paul Merriman to ask them to finish for-profit possession of long-term care properties in Saskatchewan. Thus far, SGEU says it has not acquired a response.
