Planning for Long-Term Care Where Do I Start? Planning for Long-Term Care Where do I start? The Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is your single point of access to information about, and to apply for admission to, long-term care homes. You cannot apply directly to the long-term care home. Each Mississauga Halton LHIN patient is assigned a care coordinator who collaborates with patients, families, caregivers and/or substitute decision makers to assist patients in making health care choices and achieving their short and long-term health care goals. Your Mississauga Halton LHIN care coordinator will: • Provide you with information about long-term care homes • Provide information about financial options, if required • Complete an assessment at your home or in hospital and determine Tip your eligibility • Help you with the application forms and coordinate the application It’s a good idea to process to facilitate access to long-term care talk to someone • Provide information on alternatives to long-term care homes, such as supportive/assistive housing, retirement homes and you trust and let seniors apartments them know what • Empower you or your decision-makers with the information you need you want your to make an informed decision on a long-term care home that suits your needs and interests life to look like in • Place you, if necessary, on the waiting lists of the long-term care the future should homes you select you not be able to • Offer you a bed in a chosen long-term care home when one make decisions becomes available for yourself.

Care in your home Before you think of leaving your home for a long-term care destination, the Mississauga Halton LHIN will help you to explore all your options to be supported at home. If you need help with day-to-day tasks, such as bathing and cooking, you may be able to stay in your home with the support of home care services and/or care in the community. Care in your community The Mississauga Halton LHIN will connect you to community services that are right for you. You can take advantage of a variety of support services available in your community, whether you’re receiving care in your home, or managing on your own. Our knowledgeable staff provide the key link between you and all the available community-based services to help you achieve your best possible health care and wellbeing. Community-based services such as meal services, friendly visiting, adult day programs and many more, may enable you to stay in your home longer than you thought possible. But if you do determine that you need more comprehensive support, here are some options to consider: • Retirement homes are a good fit if your care needs don’t require 24-hour nursing availability, specialized services and government subsidized care. • Convalescent care may be the right level of care if your medical condition requires nursing care and other resources on a 24-hour basis. Typically, complex continuing care is necessary when care needs cannot be met in long-term care. • Short-stay is ideal if all you need is a brief stay in a long-term care Home while your caregiver or loved one is on vacation or taking a rest, or while you are recovering from an illness or surgery (this is also referred to as respite care). • Long-term care homes may be what you need if you have exhausted all the services in the community and it has become too much of a challenge for you or your caregiver for you to stay in your own home. If you are a veteran you may be eligible for Veterans Affairs “Priority Access” long-term care beds. Planning for Long-Term Care | 3 How do I know when it’s time to apply to long-term care?

Speak with the residents while on tour and chat with the resident families to see how they feel about the home. 4. If the patient needs a secure unit (locked unit), ask to tour this unit. 5. Make a note of general impression of the home, the room, caregiver training and support, prevention and response to abuse, volunteers, care plan is tailored to the resident preferences and lifestyle. 6. Review the activity calendar. There are several resources available to patients and families to help them make an informed decision when applying to long-term care. Please refer to www.healthcareathome.ca/mh for more information. Select “Getting Care” from the top menu bar, and scroll down to “Long- Term Care.” Resources include: • Video explaining the application process • Video tours of the Mississauga Halton LHIN region’s 27 long-term care homes to help the selection process if you cannot visit the homes in-person • Published wait times and costs Planning for Long-Term Care | 5 How do I apply? 1. Request for a placement assessment can be made by: • Family Physician, Service Provider, Adult Day Program Coordinator, Family/Patient, Neighbour (Note: physician referral is NOT required) 2. Once a long-term care placement request has been made, the patient is assigned to a Mississauga Halton LHIN care coordinator who will visit the patient’s home to complete a placement application, and determine eligibility for long-term care. • If the patient is in hospital, a hospital Social Worker or Discharge Planner will start the application process; however, a Mississauga Halton LHIN hospital care coordinator completes the placement application and determines long-term care eligibility. 3. The patient (or his/her Power of Attorney-POA or Substitute- Decision-Maker-SDM) must cooperate with the care coordinator to provide the most accurate information in the assessments of his/ her health needs. Important notes: • Eligibility for long-term care is based on provincial regulations, set out by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. • Each long-term care applicant can select up to five homes. • Applications are sent by the Mississauga Halton LHIN to chosen long-term care homes. • Long-term care homes respond to each application, deciding whether to accept or reject applicant. 6 | Planning for Long-Term Care Accepting or Rejecting Bed Offers Bed Offer Process Expectation: Patients inform the Mississauga Halton LHIN of their decision to accept or reject a bed offer within 24 hours of receiving the offer. If bed offer is accepted: • Patients are expected to move in the next day. • Patients may hold bed for up to five days, but must occupy the bed by the fifth day or he/she loses the placement – accommodation fees may be applied. • Patients can remain on the waitlist for his/her preferred choices while residing in a long-term care home. • The Mississauga Halton LHIN will follow-up with the patient and/or family/caregiver to confirm patient’s interest in preferred choices – usually at eight weeks to allow for the six-week care conference with the long-term care home. If accepted by the home, the patient is placed on a waitlist. Please note that long-term care homes generally do not notify families of acceptance to the waitlist. It is best to follow up with your Mississauga Halton LHIN care coordinator to find out whether you/your loved one has been accepted and placed on a waitlist.

This could be the beginning of a story or the end of a story. Happily for patient Ed Skrlj, it was the beginning. On October 14, 2009 Ed wasn’t feeling well. He began to feel symptoms of what he assumed was indigestion. His pain continued to intensify until Ed, the 55 year old father of three, asked his wife to call 911. This story could still have made a tragic downward turn, but again, an integrated initiative, partnering the MH LHIN with Halton, Peel and Toronto EMS enabled Ed to receive life-saving treatment within an astounding 48 minutes from the moment the paramedics arrived at his door to the insertion of a catheter in his heart at Trillium Health Centre, the regional hub for the integrated treatment protocol. He is recovering well now. “I was impressed with the calmness and knowledge of all the people who worked on me. Their timely care saved my life”, quotes Ed Skrlj.

  • Senior Friendly Hospital Care in the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network Summary of Self-Assessment Responses
    Senior Friendly Hospital Care in the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network Summary of Self-Assessment Responses February 2015 Overview In 2011, the Ontario Senior Friendly Hospital (SFH) Strategy was launched by Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and Regional Geriatric Programs (RGPs). An environmental scan, informed by 155 hospital self-assessment surveys, highlighted promising practices within the five domains of the Ontario SFH framework: Organizational Support; Processes of Care; Emotional and Behavioural Environment; Ethics in Clinical Care and Research; and Physical Environment. The “Senior Friendly Hospital Care Across Ontario Summary Report 2011” identified delirium, functional decline, and transitions in care as priority areas for quality improvement across the province. The current report summarizes an environmental scan conducted in the fall of 2014 using an updated version of the original self-assessment survey. The purpose of this report is to identify improvements made in SFH commitment and care since 2011; facilitate organization- and LHIN-level planning of SFH activities; highlight new and existing promising practices; and identify training needs to build capacity. Both Mississauga Halton LHIN hospitals completed the self-assessment survey: Trillium Health Partners and Halton Healthcare Services. While self-assessment can provide helpful and practical information, this approach does come with some limitations. For instance, detail and accuracy can be compromised due to different interpretations of the survey questions and inter- departmental communication. Even with explanatory notes, positive responses to dichotomous questions may lack sufficient detail about important factors such as intensity of uptake and fidelity to best practice. In the “Process of Care” domain, for example, hospitals reported the extent of implementation of practice across their organization, but not their compliance with these practices.

  • Mississauga Halton LHIN Community Consultation Feedback February 2016
    Mississauga Halton LHIN Community Consultation Feedback February 2016 Introduction On December 17, 2015 the ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (ministry) released a discussion paper entitled Patients First: A Proposal to Strengthen Patient-Centred Health Care in Ontario. The ministry requested input on their proposal and was looking to hear from providers, patients and caregivers from across the province. In support of the ministry’s desire to engage Ontarians, the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) undertook a six week community consultation process to gather feedback on the Patients First proposal. The consultation strategy consisted of three key mechanisms: 1. Face to face consultations, organized across the geography of the LHIN with primary care physicians, health service providers, patients and caregivers 2. An on-line survey and invitation to residents, primary care providers and health service providers to provide their feedback on the questions noted within the ministry’s discussion paper 3. Promotion of the ministry’s feedback link for community input Over the past six weeks, 35 in person consultations were planned, organized and executed. The primary care physician community was reached through 14 separate consultations. Nine of these took place within the community, including one within each Health Link geography and two that were open to physicians from across the LHIN. The remaining five consultations included groups of physician leaders as well as hospital family medicine teams, solo practitioners and walk-in clinic owners. Representatives from the Ontario College of Family This report is a summary of Practioners (OCFP) and Ontario Medical Association (OMA) attended the feedback provided by 570 and participated in a number of the consultation sessions, and helped participants and does not advertise and encourage physician participation.
