Please be reminded of the family Zoom meeting with the administrator that will be held tonight at 6:30 p.m. to review the changes related to the visitor policy and answer any questions you may have.  A separate e-mail will follow containing the details for the Zoom call.

The Ministry of Long-Term Care announced yesterday that there were will be a further deferral of the resident co-payment amounts for accommodation charges. The ministry has confirmed that they are extending the freeze on the annual rate increase to the long-term care resident co-payment scheduled for July 1, 2021, until January 1, 2022.

Please note: Residents who are currently on the LTC Rate Reduction Program will not be impacted by this deferral, as their reduced rate is based on what they can afford. Residents will be required to reapply when the current Rate Reduction cycle expires on June 30, 2021. As soon as you receive your Notice of Assessment from the 2020 taxation year, please contact Lynne Williams, Corporate Controller at lwilliams@mccormickcare.ca or 519-432-2648, ext. 2323. 

Have a wonderful day!
