For-profit long term care (LTC) beds for the elderly increased by over 2,100 in Ontario between 2003/4 and 2009/10 according to new Statistics Canada data. The number of for-profit facilities increased by 70, taking a large majority in the growth in facilities, gaining 70 out of the total of 94 new LTC facilities.
However, with slightly stronger growth in the number of beds operated by not-for-profit operators, not-for-profit operators actually increased their share of the total number of LTC beds by a couple of percent. Nevertheless, 60% of all LTC beds are still operated by for-profit corporations. As well, 65% of the facilities are operated by for-profit corporations.
The biggest increase in beds over the six years was in not-for-profit facilities operated by lay organizations. These lay facilities saw their number of beds increase from 9,600 beds to 13,200 beds. Municipal homes also increased their share of total beds. The Stats Canada reports are linked below.
