Fixing Long-Term, Care Act (FLTCA), 2021- Palliative Approach to Care

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

The FLTCA and its regulations expand palliative care requirements from the previous long-term care act. Palliative care has been added to the Residents' Bill of Rights which states it is the right of every resident to have provided with care and services based on a palliative care philosophy.

Understanding palliative care is more than just end-of-life care.

The palliative care requirements reflect a shift in practice toward a broader, more holistic approach to palliative care. They are consistent with the Ontario Provincial Framework for Palliative Care.

Please see the attached information sheet from the Ministry of Long-Term Care.
