Ontario’s Fall Economic Statement shows LTC sector making significant progress since 2020

November 7, 2025

Quote from CEO Donna Duncan

on Ontario’s 2025 Fall Economic Statement:

“Ontario’s long-term care sector has made significant progress since 2020. Thanks to the government’s leadership and investment, we’re protecting Ontario’s seniors by renewing and expanding care — adding new homes, increasing hours of care, and improving quality of life across the province.

The redevelopment and expansion of long-term care homes isn’t just about creating more spaces for seniors; it supports 166,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs across Ontario.

Together, we’re creating stronger communities and a better future for seniors, their families, and the caregivers who support them.”

Budget 2026 is a chance to protect Ontario by protecting long-term care.

Progress is real — but fragile. Demographic pressures, workforce challenges, and aging infrastructure mean deliberate action must be taken.

Learn about our priorities along with practical, evidence-informed recommendations to protect Ontario by strengthening long-term care now and into the future.
