Bringing Long-Term Care Home: A Proposal to Create a Virtual Long-Term Care @ Home Program to Support a More Cost-Effective and Sustainable Way to Provide Long-Term Care Across Ontario

This paper proposes that the Government of Ontario’s Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care collaborate to enable the creation of a Virtual Long-Term Care @ Home Program.
