Reimagining LTC

Reimagining LTC supported long-term care homes to work together to build better care with and for people living and working in long-term care in Canada. The program helped participants address gaps in the safety and quality of care in long-term care, by providing more support to healthcare workers and building capacity to make care more person-centred.

LTC+: Acting on Pandemic Learning Together

From 2020 to 2022, this program brought together more than 1,500 homes caring for older adults in congregate settings to navigate challenges and opportunities related to the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance their organization’s skills and resilience. Teams received funding and coaching and participated in virtual learning and peer support opportunities.

This program focused on creating ways for teams to learn from and with each other in six key areas:

  1. preparation
  2. prevention
  3. people in the workforce
  4. pandemic response and surge capacity
  5. planning for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 care
  6. presence of family

LTC+ was delivered by HEC with support from Health Quality BC (previously the BC Patient Safety and Quality Council), Shared Health (previously Manitoba Institute for Patient Safety), New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes and CADTH, with additional funding support from the CMA Foundation.
