“A homicide in a Toronto seniors’ home is raising questions about long-term care home capacity in Ontario, where demand is expected to grow significantly over the next decade as the so-called Baby Boomer generation ages.

A recent report from the province’s auditor general on wait times for beds in such facilities revealed a growing demand that is already taxing the system: the average wait is 98 days – a number that has almost tripled since 2005. The report also found that 15 per cent of people on long-term care wait lists die before ever receiving accommodation.”
