The provincial government is boosting funding to its Local Priorities Fund, which is a stream that supports residents in long-term care homes with complex needs like dementia and bariatric care.
Minister of Long-Term Care Stan Cho said they’re tacking on $15 million into the fund for 2024, which brings it to a total of $35 million from its inception in 2022-23.
Last year’s $20 million investment covered the costs of 173 projects.
Successful recipients for this year’s funding stream will be notified in the coming weeks.
