opinion Editor: Scott Anderson Group Publisher: Michael J. Hertz CUPE concerned over long-term care staffing

CUPE The results of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health’s first Resi- dent and Family Experience Survey and CEO tour indicate wide- spread concern with inadequate staffing in long-term care. In all but one of the twelve former health regions, staffing levels and/ or staff recruitment and retention were raised as issues during the CEO tour. “This certainly confirms what our many members who work in long-term care have been saying for years,” says Pearl Blom- maert, Vice-President of CUPE Local 5430, which represents 14,000 health care workers in Saskatchewan. In the fall of 2015, CUPE surveyed more than 400 long-term care workers. Short-staffing and workload were top issues. Front-line workers reported not being able to provide proper personal care to all residents because they did not have enough time. “The reality is that the working conditions in long-term care are also the living conditions of residents, the living conditions of thousands of Saskatchewan seniors,” says Blommaert. “In- creased workloads and short-staffing translate into reduced care for residents, which can mean fewer baths, reduced per- sonal care, problems with ‘wandering residents’, and inadequate contact us The Southwest Booster welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publica- recreational and therapeutic programing for residents.” tion over the writer’s name.
