Specifically, it wants $306 million over two years to fund just 20 more minutes of daily care for residents. "An additional 20 minutes of daily care is not much, but it is a little more care, respect and dignity that our loved ones would experience with things like more help to get up or to enjoy their meal," said Michelle Fleming, Resident Services Coordinator at West Oak Village Long Term Care Centre. "The seniors in long term care are those who played a major role in shaping our country. They deserve this."
